This was a fun adventure. Sandsurfing was a blast. The sunset in the pinnacles was beautiful. The stars were spectacular.

Amazing day spent with Lumineer tours. Very friendly welcome/pick up. Ventured out to Lancelin and Sandboarded on the Dunes - Awesome. Arrived at Pinnacles in plenty of time had had a stroll around before a fantastic sunset. Great BBQ then stargazing. Other tours give you binoculars, Lumineer tours set up a telescope as per picture and zoom in on planets/constellations. Our host Leighton was a great guy and when we joined up with the other coach, Gavin's Astronomy knowledge is brilliant. We also managed to spot 12 satellites passing overhead. Unfortunately no shooting stars but previous tours have seen these. Pleasant return journey back and a truly memorable day.

Amazing experience! Sam and Neil do a fab job at running this experience and ensure everyone has a great time. What makes it stand out from other such tours is the telescope experience along with some basic explanation scientific explanations for folks to understand. The bbq dinner too was also very good and you can’t ask for more in the middle of a desert. Spl thanks to Sam who kept us occupied with his humour during the journey:)

Wonderful tour. Amazing desert, and many many stars to see! I loved it. The guide (the Italian guide; unfortunately forgot the name) was very fun, friendly and super knowledgeable about stars. There was a nice picnic dinner at sunset with a variety of options and lots of stargazing (there was a telescope as well). Highly recommended! 10/10.

We had an incredible trip to the pinnacles in early February. The stops en route were short and sweet with the exception of the sand boarding which was SOOOOO much fun. Once we reached the desert, we had a chance to explore the mystical standing stones before the watching a beautiful sunset. We were given a great (and plentiful) BBQ with wine before having the stars explained to us. We were lucky that it was a clear night and the stars were incredible. I saw Mercury and its stars, Venus and her rings and a nebula. After a couple of hours, the moon gave us a beautiful “moonrise”.

It’s a long day that includes a variety of activities. Some of requires physical agility (sand boarding). But it is interesting and Adrian was a terrific guide. He did it all, driving, sandboarding, cooking, and astronomy. Pretty amazing!

It's a long trip from Perth to the Pinnacles but completely worthwhile. The sand boarding was great fun and Pinnacles impressive. We had time to look around before sunset and this was spectacular. The evening picnic and stargazing were also excellent.

Amazing trip, the mini bus is quite comfortable. The food is nice and fresh, each location stoped for a decent enough time to have fun, took a cozy nap when heading back with blanket. Perfect for a day trip
