STEP 1: GETTING TO LANCELIN
To make the most of the dunes, you’ll need a sandboard – other types of boards are not suitable for sliding on sand and will not have the same effect. Sandboards can be reserved online starting at $10. You’ll collect your board from the dunes where standard two-wheel-drive vehicles can park at the base on hard rock.
It’s crucial to stay on designated routes; deviating may result in getting bogged down in soft sand. Note that most rental car companies do not permit taking their two-wheel-drive vehicles off-road.
For deeper exploration into off-road areas, a four-wheel-drive vehicle is required due to potential hazards such as dangerous dunes where accidents can occur.
The dune area spans across three different jurisdictions; only use licensed sections marked by signage at entry points indicating permissible areas for activities.
If unsure about driving off-road with a two-wheel-drive vehicle, park it on Bootoo Street or in a nearby clearing and walk approximately 300 meters across soft sand and hard rock to reach the dunes.
FREE DUNES ENTRY
Entry to these expansive dunes is free – there are no gate restrictions and they dunes are open daily from 8am to 7pm, year-round.
Rental boards are available from 10am daily. Those experienced with skateboards or snowboards may stand while descending hills whereas sitting down requires no skill but offers equal enjoyment.
WHAT SHOULD YOU WEAR?
It’s important to dress according to weather conditions. If it’s windy or if you think you may fall frequently, you should be prepared for sandy clothes.
Sunglasses are recommended for protection against both the glare from white sands and blowing particles.
Remember, climbing up each dune provides excellent exercise opportunities! Be prepared to work up a sweat.
FACILITIES
Note: there are no facilities such as toilets or shops within proximity of the dunes, so plan accordingly before arriving.

Hi
Just like to know the place hiring sandboard will be open mid of August?
We are not sure the weather therefore we don’t want to book and pay to order a board at this stage.
Therefore we wanted to know if the place to hire sandboard will be open everyday or not, or any contact no. we can ring before we heading to sand dune?
Please advise.
Hi, which is a better time to try the sandboarding during my visit in mid August? Morning or afternoon? so that I can plan for my route whether to visit The Pinnacles first then Lanceline or sandboarding first. Thank you.

Hi. Is the 4wd tour available for walk-in or online bookings only?
hi
couple of things to help your enjoyment of the dunes
1. cardboard doesn’t work as a ski board
2. even with a sand board, you may need candle wax to get a good run down the slopes
3. there are sand flies/miggies in the dunes. Suggest you use insect repellent or clothing to cover up.
this should help you have an even better time
