5.00Beautiful scenery at the Pinnacles and several interesting stops on the way up. Who would have thought going down a sand dune sitting on a snow board would have been so much fun. Food from the bbq great and very interesting info on stars and planets. Sam our guide was a top bloke and he liked cricket too - what more could you ask? Excellent trip.

5.00Leighton took excellent care of us from pickup through drop off. He managed it all, from commentary to special diets to even the best bathrooms. Everything is taken care of for you so you can relax and enjoy.The passionate astronomer was interesting and informative and showed me Saturn's rings and Alpha Centauri through his telescope. The complementary lesson on astral photography with your phone was much needed and much appreciated.
An excellent day out

5.00I'm from the east coast USA, due to the amount of light pollution I don't get to see a lot of stars in the sky too often. This was a must due for me just for the stars. That's said watching the sunset over the Indian Ocean was gorgeous as well. The sand dunes were really quite something as well and it was also nice to dip my toes in the Indian Ocean (My 4th Ocean) even if only briefly. The guides were great and there was plenty of food. Well worth the price.

4.00Sam was superb—friendly, organized & fun! Great music, smooth trip, helped with sandboarding. Only wish dinner info & fly nets shared earlier
It's a lot colder than you might expect in the desert after sunset!

3.00The Lancelin dunes sandboading was fun and not at all scary. The Pinnacles are certainly unusual, but for some reason they were smaller than perhaps we were expecting, the sunset was great, but be warned it becomes very cold once the sun goes down so wrap up well, don't underestimate this. The wind was strong and made it difficult to eat our bbq meal, which consisted of two types of sausage and assorted salad. The stars did become clearly visible just before we left, although not the Milky Way which we expected. If you want to be dropped off somewhere other than your original pick up point in Perth it's important to mention this in your initial booking. Many thanks to our guide/driver Leighton who single handedly put in an awful lot of work, but perhaps just not our ideal tour.
