About this tour
Skip the long coach journeys and see Wave Rock via a 5-hour combination of scenic flight and ground tour from Perth. Your pilot guides you over patchwork farmland and kaleidoscopic salt lakes before landing near Western Australia's most striking rock formation. You'll explore Wave Rock itself in the quieter morning hours, then visit the quirky Hippo's Yawn rock outcrop and optional local attractions at a relaxed pace.
Highlights
- Aerial views of coloured lakes and farmland en route to Wave Rock
- Early access to Wave Rock before day-tripper crowds arrive
- Hippo's Yawn rock formation, lesser-known and photogenic
- Optional visits to Wildlife Park, Toy Museum, or Lace Place
- Morning tea break in the outback shade
- Private ground transport throughout the day
What to expect
You'll board a small aircraft in Perth for the outbound flight, taking in geological layers of the landscape as you head inland. After landing, your guide drives you directly to Wave Rock, where you have unhurried time to walk around the formation and absorb its scale without jostling with coach groups. The rock's sheer face and weathered texture reveal themselves best in morning light. Next stop is Hippo's Yawn—a rockier, more scrambling affair than Wave Rock, with genuine character. You'll pause for tea somewhere sheltered, then have the option to poke around nearby local museums or the wildlife park if energy and interest remain.
