Relaxed and informative half day tour from Perth.
Interesting cave and good views of kangaroos and koalas. The cave guide was very knowledgeable. Also learnt a lot from the tour guide. Half a day was about right for this tour. Can also combine it with a visit to the Pinnacles desert to make a full day but I didn’t do it as I’d been to the desert before. Hotel pickup was very convenient.
Response from the operator: Gday John - Thanks a lot for your lovely comments. We are happy you had a great time with our Tour guide & enjoyed the cave and trip to Yanchep. Have an enjoyabole time in Perth

Time well spent away from the bustling city
We were picked up by our tour guide from our hotel, as previously arranged, and headed off out of the city while learning how the tour was organized for the morning. On our way to the National Park we learned lots of local information provided about the sights along the way. Arriving to the park we saw Kangaroos grazing, some with Joey's visible in their mum's pouch, very cute! We went off to Crystal Cave next, safety briefing given from the Caving guide, then headed 13 m underground to see some beautiful and incredible sights, learning how and when the cave was discovered, and the changes that have occured since then. Great cave guide, with a good sense of humour; we felt very safe. Back to view more kangaroos, then a wander along the boardwalk to spot and watch a large adult koala feed hungrily on gum leaves, he was in no hurry to move on . We wandered around adjacent to the koala for some time enjoying the early flowering wild flowers, and also gaining an appreciation of the Australian bush. As we were in good time we were treated to a scenic trip on the way back, going out to the coast and seeing a little more of the environs. A great half day tour which we are both recommending - it was a well organized tour with lovely hosts.
Response from the operator: Gday Rachel, We thank you very much for your kind words and positive feedback. Good to know that you had a great time on our tour. Hope to see you all again soon. Have a great day

Yanchep National Park
The Yanchep National Park is indeed a jewel in the crown of Perth's tourist destinations. The plant life and wildlife are captivating, the Crystal Cave is amazing and the historical Chocolate Drops Cafe and the Yanchep Inn provide a delightful setting for a meal. One big drawback, which should be made clear to all potential visitors is, that unlike most attractions, the Park IS NOT, accessible by public transport and, while the new train service will take you to the Yanchep Station, from then on, you're on your own unless you want to make what would an extremely long hike.
Response from the operator: Thanks for your time to comment, we appreciate it. Good to know you enjoyed the tour. Sadly accessibility to Yanchep is an issue, may be in future, that may be resolved. Enjoy your time in West Australia

See a lot of wildlife
The trip was fantastic. We see kangaroos, koalas and even black cockatoos in Yanchep. The cave was also amazing. It was great to see the cave. Our guide makes a lot of pictures of us, so that was very nice
Response from the operator: Gday & thanks for your comments. Good to know you had a good time. Stay well & have a great day

Aussie Tours is terrible
The park itself was lovely and the cave extraordinary. Crystal cave was closed do we did the other one but it was phenomenal so that was a blessing! The revois bad because of the tour company. Aussie your accepted our booking and then said they wanted to change days. We didn’t have another day so they said they would make it happen. All good until we arrived at park and the driver said he did not have a commercial license because he was an Uber driver. We had no idea. They did not want to let us in. I purchased this as a birthday gift for my colleague and we were all upset by it. The park authority said they were going to ban Aussie Tours from coming in. Do not book with them but do go see the caves!
Response from the operator: Gday & thanks for your points here. We had a new driver join us who used to do Uber work and sadly was not fully conversant with some issues. We have taken him off tours few months back . Do apologise for the inconvenience caused to you. Hope you have a great day

Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave cost?
+
Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.
Is Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perth?
+
On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected CBD hotels only); National Park fees; GST (Goods and Services Tax); All taxes, fees and handling charges; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 60 listed pickup locations in and around Perth. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Half-Day Yanchep National Park & Crystal Cave offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
