About this tour
A 10-hour aeroplane tour combining three of Western Australia's standout natural attractions in a single day. You'll fly from Perth to Wave Rock, explore the distinctive rock formation and optional wildlife park, then hop to the Pinnacles Desert near Cervantes to see thousands of limestone pillars rising from sand. After flying back over the formations and down the coast, you'll land on Rottnest Island for a couple of hours to swim, eat and spot quokkas before returning to Perth. Lunch and all taxes included.
Highlights
- Aerial views of Perth foothills and farmland en route to three separate destinations
- Wave Rock: the 15-metre granite outcrop and Hippo's Yawn formation up close
- Pinnacles Desert: thousands of individual limestone columns scattered across dunes
- Scenic flight along WA's coastline and over inaccessible Dead Pinnacles
- Rottnest Island afternoon: swimming, dining and quokka spotting included
- Returns via Fremantle coastal approach for final aerial perspective
What to expect
You'll depart Perth by light aircraft early in the day, flying across farmland to Wave Rock. On the ground, you'll walk around the 15-metre granite formation, see Hippo's Yawn, and have the option to visit the on-site wildlife park or small museums at your own pace. Back in the air, you'll fly to Cervantes, where you're driven inland to the Pinnacles Desert to walk amongst the limestone pillars. After returning to the airstrip, you'll fly down the WA coast towards Rottnest Island, getting aerial views of Dead Pinnacles and long beaches en route. You'll land on Rottnest for roughly two hours to explore on foot or swim, with lunch provided somewhere in the itinerary. The final flight back to Perth follows the coast past Fremantle.

Good to know
This suits keen natural-history tourists and photographers who want to see three major WA landmarks without spending three separate days travelling. You'll need moderate fitness to walk around Wave Rock and the Pinnacles; the tour involves significant air time in a small plane, which isn't ideal if you're sensitive to motion or confined spaces. Weather-dependent — tours may be rescheduled if conditions aren't favourable. Infants sit on adult laps; prams are allowed. A minimum of two adults per booking applies. Lunch is included; check whether that's a packed meal or restaurant stop on Rottnest. Peak times may mean busier conditions at Wave Rock and Rottnest, especially school holidays.
