The Big Wave Rock (Private) Day Tour
Overview
The highlight of this tour for many is the beautiful natural feature of Wave Rock.
The Wheatbelt is a massive agricultural region extending from Geraldton (about 400km north of Perth) to Esperance (around 800km southeast of Perth). This full day private tour includes heritage towns and many natural attractions all located in the central Wheatbelt Region directly east of Perth.
I offer a lot of flexibility in this tour. If you prefer to stay a little longer at the expense of another location thats totally fine. The day can offer many things to different people.
There are a lot of changes in landscape simply because we cover a lot of ground in approximately 10 – 12 hours. It’s a visual feast for photographers and random stops are welcome!

This was the second tour we booked with Peter (the other one being Pinnacles Desert). Like the Pinnacles Desert Tour, the Wave Rock trip was also exemplary. Peter was at his usual beat in making multiple stops on way to Wave Rock and allowing us to absorb and see interesting things all along the way. Peter also has an amazing playlist of local Aussie bands which kept us entertained all throughout the trip. Great music A definite must to do tour for ppl visiting Perth because you get to see some amazing geological wonders with a gem of a dude as your guide.Toured Western Australia Wheatbelt (Wave rock area) and Pinnacles area with Peter of PerthsTinyTours.

Toured Western Australia Wheatbelt (Wave rock area) and Pinnacles area with Peter of PerthsTinyTours. Peter offers private small group tours, currently in his hybrid Toyota Camry. The advantages of a private tour with him are that you can customize the times and itinerary and you have a lot more flexibility in where you spend your time. And with a car many things are much more accessible than with bigger vans or buses for ex. doing the mud drive around Pinnacles (significantly reducing the walking required) or unpaved drives to see wildflowers are not possible in a bus and big groups can’t make dozens of stops along the Tin Horse highway. For the Wheatbelt area tour we wanted to see Wave Rock, Hippos Yawn, Tin Horse highway and wildflowers. Since we were fast we not only covered those but also were able to do make quick stops in York, Beverly and Mulka’s cave and do a short hike at Humps. For the Pinnacles area tour we wanted to do the Crystal Cave tour in Yanchep NP, see the Pinnacles in Nambung NP and stop at Lancelin sand dunes. Not only did we do those but Peter also showed us Kings Park in Perth (which we were unable to do on our own earlier) and Two Rocks (which has some interesting sculptures). We also arranged our airport pickup with Peter and as part of that he gave us a quick orientation of the area near our hotel and provided picture opportunities for the Swan river bridge and the Optus stadium. Peter charged us only a bit more than the bigger group tours available on Viator and though he doesn’t include lunch like many of the other tours he provides some fruit and water. Given the flexibility and the private nature of the tour, Peter was clearly a much better choice than the group tours. Peter enjoys touring himself, is pretty relaxed, has a very nice clean car, is a decent driver and is on What’s App (hence reachable via Wifi) so touring with him is fun. If you don’t like his easy listening/alternative music playlist you just need to let him know and plug in yours (as long as it’s not rap :). In summary if you are in the Perth area would definitely recommend doing the Wave rock, Tin Horse highway and Pinnacles with Peter of PerthsTinyTours.Relaxing. Covered a lot of ground. Got everything done and more. Friendly, knowledgeable flexible host.

It was a great experience to visit the big wave rocks. Especially with Peter who is an awesome reliable driver, also has lots of knowledge about the road and the little town on the way through. He makes the stories very interesting to hear, that makes your trip doesn't feel bored at all. Plus he is a great photographer. It was so good to see the wave rocks eventually, and don't forget to get on top and walk around. It has a great view. After all that I want to say is don't miss out a great tour experience with Peter. His is real good 👍
