Lancelin Sand Dunes චාරිකා

An extremely memorable trip, yielding experiences and lessons far more valuable than money. Our two guides, David and Mark, wore many hats; aside from driving and giving explanations, they also built the fire for the barbecue and set up the campsite for dinner. The food was fully stocked with things like grilled sausages, steak, chicken breast, salad, fruit, pasta, and hot drinks. As we ate, they explained the order in which the stars appear after sunset. Just like that, accompanied by the super strong sea breeze of the Indian Ocean and gazing at the sunset with its Tyndall effect, we enjoyed an incredibly relaxing open-air dinner. As night fell, stars began to twinkle in the distance one by one. Although there were too many professional astronomical terms to fully understand, it didn't diminish the awe of seeing the starry sky and the Milky Way filling the heavens at all. They even let us see the true appearance of a star, identical to the 🪐 emoji, with a ring surrounding the planet. Seeing a star with the naked eye through a telescope lens was truly amazing!!!! It's just a pity that cell phones couldn't capture it through the telescope lens 🥲 Such a perfect journey, this will forever remain my 'right now' moment.

itinerary: 10/10 — enjoyed it up until the very end. everything was clearly briefed and timing was well kept. • attractions on the way: 9/10— visited a number of beautiful beaches, it would’ve been perfect if there were some engaging activities in between on our way to the Pinnacles. nevertheless, views were breathtaking and enjoyable! • group size: 9/10 — there were roughly 26 people during the tour, it was an ideal group size for me, though we did have to squeeze in between our seats • guide: 10/10 — our guide was hardworking, friendly and sweet! she kept the energy consistent and was also inclusive in terms of providing vegetarian / halal meals for muslim tourists! also shared alot of her knowledge on the beaches and deserts we visited!

The guide David is awesome! He is friendly and passionate in sharing about the places he brought us to. 9 hours trip - pace was just nice and not too rushed. Stargazing and dinner at the pinnacles was definitely a vibe.

If you want a relaxing, stress-free trip immersed in natural scenery, this is an excellent choice! Tour guide David is amazing 👍 and very attentive, with delightful surprises at hidden gems along the way. From day to night, experience sandboarding and stargazing by moonlight 🔭. The itinerary is packed with activities, highly recommended!

The best part for me was the stargazing. As a kid who grew up in cities, I had never seen so many stars in the sky in my life. Looking up at that endless sky made me feel so small in the middle of this vast nature and universe. Btw, our tour guide & driver Chris was amazing. I was really impressed by his knowledge, and it was the first time I’d met a tour guide who could introduce everything while driving without looking at any notes 😲. His respect for the little animals along the road, the cars coming from the opposite direction, and the night sky was one of the things that impressed me most about this trip. (Btw, if you’re planning to visit the Pinnacles at night, please be mindful of using lights as they affect the stargazing experience.) Also very grateful to his assistant Runa. After the tour ended, she accompanied us all the way to the train station to catch our train 😂😂

මෙම කුඩා කණ්ඩායම් සංචාරය සඳහා, විශේෂයෙන්ම අපගේ මාර්ගෝපදේශක කෙනී ඉතා ඉහළින් නිර්දේශ කරමි. ඔහු සෑම දෙයක්ම ඉතා මැනවින් සැලසුම් කර ඇති අතර, තදබදය සහ වැඩිම පිරිසක් ගැවසෙන වේලාවන් මඟ හරිමින් විශිෂ්ට ඡායාරූප ලබා ගැනීමට අපට උදව් කළේය. ඔහු වෘත්තීය වීඩියෝ ශිල්පියෙකු සහ කැමරා ශිල්පියෙකු මෙන්, අපට පවා නොදැනී අමතක නොවන වීඩියෝ සටහන් කර ගත්තේය. එක් එක් ආකර්ෂණීය ස්ථානය අතරතුර අපට ප්‍රමාණවත් විවේක කාලයක් ලැබෙන බවටද ඔහු වගබලා ගත්තේය, එය මුළු අත්දැකීමම ඉතා සුවපහසු සහ ප්‍රීතිමත් එකක් බවට පත් කළේය.

සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා ඉතා මිත්‍රශීලී සහ උපකාරශීලී විය. රෝස විල අත්විඳීමට ලැබීම ඉතා වාසනාවකි. සංචාරක සැලැස්ම විශිෂ්ට හා හොඳින් සැලසුම් කරන ලද්දකි.

අපි දින 2ක සංචාරය භුක්ති වින්ද අතර, Pink Lake, Nature’s Window, Kalbarri Skywalk සහ අලංකාර වෙරළබඩ දර්ශන වැනි ප්‍රධාන ස්ථාන ආවරණය වන පරිදි සංචාරක සැලැස්ම හොඳින් සකස් කර ඇති බව සොයා ගත්තෙමු. අපගේ නවාතැන්පලෙන් පිටත වන සතුන් ලෙස සිටි කැන්ගරුවන් දැකීම වඩාත් මතකයේ රැඳුණු අවස්ථාවන්ගෙන් එකක් විය. අපගේ මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා මිත්‍රශීලී, දැනුමැති අයෙකු වූ අතර සංචාරය සුමටව සිදු වන බවට සහතික විය. එකම අවාසිය වූයේ අපි චීන සංචාරය වෙන්කරවා ගත්තද, සංචාරය ප්‍රධාන වශයෙන් ඉංග්‍රීසියෙන් දේශීය ඕස්ට්‍රේලියානු මාර්ගෝපදේශකයෙකු විසින් මෙහෙයවීමයි. මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා විශිෂ්ට වුවද, අපගේ වැඩිහිටි දෙමාපියන්ට පැහැදිලි කිරීම් තේරුම් ගැනීමට යම් අපහසුතාවයක් ඇති විය. සමස්තයක් වශයෙන්, ඉතා ප්‍රියජනක සහ මතකයේ රැඳෙන අත්දැකීමක්.

This trip was an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Terry, was extremely attentive and even proactively poured water for us during lunch, taking such good care of us. Along the way, he also shared many details about life in Australia, which made the bus ride completely engaging. The biggest surprise was that even though there were only two participants that day, the tour still ran smoothly without any cancellations, and it didn't disappoint us at all! Highly recommended to friends planning to visit!
