What Is Dinner on a Pinnacles Sunset and Stargazing Tour?
Dinner on the Pinnacles sunset and stargazing tours: a cooked BBQ, two picnics or a Cervantes tavern meal, with drinks, dietary needs and what guests say.
Each tour feeds you differently. Lumineer Adventure Tours cooks a BBQ and pours a glass of Aussie wine; Autopia Tours serves a picnic with a glass of sparkling wine; Australian Pinnacle Tours seats you at a tavern in Cervantes; Tour2Holiday serves a picnic with Aussie wine. For a hot, cooked dinner, book Lumineer Adventure Tours’ Pinnacles: In-Desert Sunset BBQ & Stargazing & Sandboarding, from US$163 a person (checked November 2026).
Tell Lumineer Adventure Tours about dietary needs at least 48 hours ahead; free cancellation runs until 24 hours before.

What guests say about the food
Lumineer Adventure Tours’ BBQ gets the warmest words. A guest in April 2026 counted “2 sausages and a bit of chicken each to start, bread roll and 6 salad dishes to choose from”, with a chance to go back for more. Others mention steak, vegan sausages, and a vegetarian patty wrapped in its own paper so it never touched the meat grill (December 2025). The one complaint about quantity in its latest 350 reviews came from a large group in April 2026, when “some of the items ran out before everyone got through the line”.
Autopia Tours' picnic divides opinion. A guest in August 2026 listed “rolls, cold meats, falafel, salads, cheese and crackers” and called it great; vegan guests in May 2026 were surprised at the care taken over theirs. Others found it thin: one in April 2026 called it “a picnic lunch with sandwiches” rather than a dinner, another that month found too little room at the table, and one in March 2026 noted that the drinks were “sparkling wine or orange juice”.
Australian Pinnacle Tours' tavern dinner is a sit-down meal at a pub in Cervantes. Guests over the years have found it good, plain or overpriced for drinks; several mention paying extra to upgrade to rock lobster, with mixed results.
Lunch is on you
Every one of these tours leaves Perth around midday or in the early afternoon, and none includes lunch. Lunch is excluded on Lumineer Adventure Tours’ day, and its first stop pauses for refreshments, where a guest in August 2026 found food to buy; on Tour2Holiday's day you have lunch before you leave and bring snacks. Eat before pickup.
Which dinner to book
For a cooked meal with plenty of it, Lumineer Adventure Tours’ BBQ. For a lighter picnic before the telescope, Autopia Tours' evening. For a meal at a table and koalas on the way, Australian Pinnacle Tours, on the days it runs.
Lumineer Adventure Tours’ day also sells on Viator as Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour for US$154 (checked November 2026).
