A trip worthy..it was awesome.

The long drive from Perth was worth it. Terry, our driver and guide was punctual and ensure we are comfortable. He was very friendly and was responsive to our queries and address our curiosities patiently. A great host and guide. Wave rock was indeed a unique sight produced by nature.

Don't Miss This Tour! Its Worth Every Cent!

An absolutely unforgettable day exploring Wave Rock, Mulka’s Cave, and Hippo’s Yawn plus so much more. Each stop was stunning in its own way — from the surreal scale of Wave Rock to the rich cultural history of Mulka’s Cave and the unique beauty of Hippo’s Yawn. A huge highlight was our guide Terry, who truly went above and beyond. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, he made the day seamless and special. The BBQ he cooked was the perfect finishing touch — especially getting to try roo for the first time. An epic, authentic WA experience from start to finish. 🌄🦘

Amazing Sites, Knowledgeable Guide

Wave Rock is AMAZING! I also enjoyed Hippo's Yawn & Mulka's Cave. They are worth the long drive. Terry is a very knowledgeable native of Australia, which makes him a really good guide. I highly recommend this tour!!

Private Day-Tour; Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave & Hippo's Yawn: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.

How much does Private Day-Tour; Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave & Hippo's Yawn cost?

+

Prices start at $1300 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 Private Day-Tour; Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave & Hippo's Yawn take?

+

Plan for about 11 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 Private Day-Tour; Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave & Hippo's Yawn worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day-Tour; Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave & Hippo's Yawn?

+

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 Private Day-Tour; Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave & Hippo's Yawn suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Day-Tour; Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave & Hippo's Yawn?

+

Around 4 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Day-Tour; Wave Rock, Mulka's Cave & Hippo's Yawn 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, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour, VIP Swan Valley Wine Tour - Premium Small Group Wine & Gourmet Experience. 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.
