After a one hour flight over the foothills and inland farming country you will enjoy a ground tour of Wave Rock. Experience the spiritual stillness of the Outback and the massive Wave Rock in the cool of the morning, before the lunchtime crowds arrive after their long morning bus drive. You’ll also get to see the curious “Hippo’s Yawn” rock. You will have time for morning tea, to purchase souvenirs and if you wish, stroll through the wildlife park, Toy Museum and Lace Museum. Afterwards, you will fly to Cervantes; a small fishing village where you will take a tour of the Pinnacles Desert. These limestone pillars are scattered over a concentrated area, with nothing quite like it found anywhere else. We will then fly out over the Pinnacles and inaccessible Dead Pinnacles, then along endless beaches back to Perth.

    Les air tour

    Kookaburra air & ground tour was fantastic Henry our pilot & guide was very professional & flew the Cesena 210 safely with confidence We had a great experience & well worth the money to see 2 distant sites in 1 day Good luck Kookaburra Les Kay Scott

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your letting us know of your experience with us and I will pass it on to Henry and Kass from Pinnacles. It is a costly exercise, and I only wish we could do it for less but as you say it is a great experience and well worth it. Also, certainly better that 2 to 3 days of driving, hire car, and accommodation. Your comments really make it worthwhile and motivating for us. Thanks Darrel Kookaburra Air

    Excellent trip

    Excellent trip with Alex the friendly and helpful pilot also very good ground guide Cas who has a lot of knowledge about the pinnacles. Would highly recommend as you can do 2 places in one day instead of 2 long day trips.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed your trip with us Alex

    Fun day

    Our pilot Alex was professional and did a fantastic job flying us from Perth to Wave Rock to The Pinnacles and back to Perth. Lunch was at a restaurant at Wave Rock and we had a dedicated guide at the Pinnacles. Alex gave us a scenic return back to Perth by heading south along the coastline.

    Response from the operator: Hi Heather, thank you so much for your review - it was a pleasure flying you! Alex

    A memorable day to the Pinnacles & Wave Rock

    Both the Pinnacles & Wave Rock was amazing to see. Darrel at Kookaburra Airlines was brilliantly flexible with my booking. Cass was a wealth of information at The Pinnacles & Adam our pilot was amazing throughout our flights & with info at & around Wave Rock. A fantastic way to cover a lot of ground in comfort (& without the loooong bus trip).

    Response from the operator: Hey Lisa! Thank you for the fantastic review! It was our pleasure to fly with you and Greg. I will pass on your kind words to Darrel & Cass! Please enjoy the rest of your trip. Hope to see you again someday. Sincerely, Adam Roni.

    Unforgettable day out

    Fabulous if long day out with Adam as our pilot. Highly recommended for kids - Adam couldn’t have been more engaging, explaining the plane, how to read the weather, really keeping them occupied. The Wave Rock to Pinnacles leg of the flight is really quite long in a small plane so you need some distraction! Wonderful to see wave rock in the relative solitude of the early morning, and the flight gave us the chance to see sights we would never have experienced if we’d had to drive. Probably not recommended for kids much under 8 due to the length of the flight and no toilet opportunity on the plane!

    Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,443 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 Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 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 Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour?

    +

    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 Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour?

    +

    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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour 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 Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour?

    +

    Included: Other; and Lunch. Not included: Entry to Wildlife Park & Museums. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wave Rock and Pinnacles Air & Ground Tour?

    +

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
