About this tour
See three of Western Australia's most striking landscapes in a single day via small aircraft and ground transport. Depart Perth, fly over farmland to Wave Rock for close-up exploration of its sculptured face and optional wildlife park visits. Continue to Cervantes and venture into the Pinnacles Desert, where thousands of weathered limestone spires rise from golden sand. Finish with an afternoon on Rottnest Island—swim, spot quokkas, grab lunch—before flying back via Fremantle.
Highlights
- Wave Rock's towering granite dome and Hippo's Yawn formation
- Pinnacles Desert's thousands of jagged limestone pillars
- Low-level aerial views along coastline and farming country
- Rottnest Island quokka encounters and sandy beaches
- Small-plane intimacy versus crowded coach tours
What to expect
Expect four flights and two ground stops packed into ten hours. The morning kicks off with a scenic climb over Perth's outskirts toward Wave Rock, where you'll have time to walk the rock's perimeter, peer into Hippo's Yawn, and optionally visit a small museum or wildlife park. You'll then fly north to Cervantes, transfer to a vehicle, and spend 45 minutes navigating the Pinnacles on foot—surreal, eerie terrain with limestone shards everywhere. After returning to the airstrip, you'll fly down the coast toward Rottnest Island, arriving mid-afternoon for roughly two hours of beach time, swimming, or just lounging near quokkas before the final leg home.

Moderate fitness required due to walking at Wave Rock and the Pinnacles. Weather dependent; poor conditions trigger cancellations. Small aircraft mean weight restrictions and limited luggage.
