About this tour
Skip the five-hour drive from Perth and fly straight to Wave Rock on this combined air-and-ground tour. Your scenic flight takes in the outback's patchwork of coloured lakes, forests and farmland before landing near Western Australia's most striking natural formation. You'll explore Wave Rock itself in the peaceful early hours, then discover the quirky rock sculptures at Hippo's Yawn, with time to browse local museums or the wildlife park afterwards. Five hours total.
Highlights
- Aerial views of outback lakes and farmland from Perth
- Wave Rock at quieter morning hours, fewer crowds
- Hippo's Yawn rock formation and geological curiosities
- Optional visits to Wildlife Park, Toy Museum, or Lace Place
- Private vehicle transport throughout, no large tour groups
What to expect
You'll board a small aircraft in Perth for a scenic flight inland, spotting the distinctive patterned lakes and rural landscape below. After landing, your driver collects you for the short journey to Wave Rock itself. Arrive early enough to experience the site's quieter morning atmosphere before tour coaches arrive. The rock's scale and striations are genuinely impressive up close. Hippo's Yawn, nearby, offers an oddly entertaining contrast—the rock formation really does resemble a gaping hippo. Your guide can advise on optional activities like the wildlife park or museum visits, depending on your interests and remaining time.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and water; the outback offers little shade. Flights are weather-dependent, so flexibility matters. Breakfast isn't included, though tea is provided mid-morning. Minimum two adults required per booking. Prams and wheelchairs are catered for, and service animals are welcome.
