About this tour
A 5-hour combined air and ground tour that flies you from Perth over outback lakes and farmland before landing near Wave Rock, one of Western Australia's most striking natural formations. You'll explore Wave Rock in the quieter morning hours, then visit Hippo's Yawn rock formation and have time to browse local attractions like the Wildlife Park or Toy Museum. This beats the standard long bus journey by giving you aerial perspective and a less crowded experience at the main site.

What to expect
You'll meet at Perth and board a small aircraft for a scenic flight heading east over foothills into outback terrain. During the flight you'll see expansive networks of coloured lakes interspersed with forests and farmland. After landing, a guide will drive you to Wave Rock, where you'll have time to walk around, absorb the landscape, and take photographs in the cooler morning before crowds peak. From there you move on to Hippo's Yawn to explore its unique rocky outcrops and formations.
Mid-morning you'll pause for tea, then have a window to stroll through local optional attractions—the Wildlife Park, Toy Museum, or Lace Place—before the return drive and flight home. The entire experience is structured around avoiding the midday rush and heat, making it less hectic than standard coach tours to the same sites.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting to see Wave Rock without a punishing bus ride, especially those who enjoy scenic flights or prefer quieter morning visits to popular sites. Physically it's low-demand—all activity is at ground level or seated. The main practical caveats: flights are weather-dependent (poor conditions trigger a reschedule or refund option), and food and drinks are not provided beyond morning tea, so bring cash or pack supplies if you plan the optional museum visits. Minimum booking is 2 adults; infants can sit on a lap or use a pram. Wheelchair accessibility applies to ground transport and Wave Rock itself; confirm any specific mobility needs when booking. Peak times are school holidays and weekends.
