What to do and see in Perth, Western Australia: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours
Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

5. The Big Wave Rock (Private) Day Tour
Overall Ratings
4.8 based on 6 reviews
This is a Private tour for you and your group only. 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!
Inclusions: An amazing fun filled day with a lot of options, Chilled water, Seasonal fresh fruit, premium local cheese & chocolate for road stops., A knowledgeable and fun guide to keep you amused on the longer stretches, Lots of photo opportunities - and I take photos of you as well!, A very comfortable airconditioned car with loads of "roadtrip" music.
Exclusions: Lunch. Lunch is available at Wave Rock Cafe, Hats & sunscreen are required in Summer

I strongly recommend Perths Tiny tour / Peter. We did 2 tours with Peter: the pinnacles day tour and the Margaret river tour. For each tour, he picked us at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the tour. The tours were well organized and we saw really nice things: the must sees like the Pinnacles but also more peculiar things like the gnomes'village. Peter was also a really informative guide telling us a lot about western Australia. FYI, we booked 2 tours with other companies and they cancelled last minute. Peter saved us and took us last minute on the Margaret river tour. Thank you Peter!

What an appalling experience today. Not only did we have to endure a diatribe of being told every Latin name of every plant we passed, we also had to put up with tour leader John who consistently veered out of his lane and even overshot the entry to the lunch venue. And then lunch was interesting. The tour company didn’t adjust the numbers on the tour so the venue was short three lunches. Okay, mistakes happen but you’d think tour leader John would ensure all of his passengers would have a lunch. But no, John just sat down and ate one of the lunches whilst three people sat without food. So effectively John ate my lunch. Denise, another Adams employee did her best to rectify the situation but John kept chowing down on a paying customers lunch! And now let’s discuss the trip back in evening. Not only did John fail to plan to factor a meal time, he didn’t care about any dietary requirements or that we had elderly passengers within the group. We had 15 minutes in Margaret River, after 5pm when most things are closed, to get a snack, a bit later we stopped at a closed roadhouse, and a little later a quick stop at a petrol station so some of us could buy some lukewarm pies. Overall John was an awful representative of this company and I’ll never consider a tour with Adams again. John needs to consider retirement because he is not customer focussed and failed his duty of care to this tour group, he’s simply an embarrassment for Adams.

The Ferry Rd to Rottnest Island was enjoyable and quick. The day spent on Rottnest Island was also enjoyable with plenty to see. However, the wait times for the hop in hop off bus was too long.

What a special and unique trip. The Pinnacles are fascinating to walk among and drive around. The sandboarding is a fun experience. My favorite was the Caversham Wildlife Park, where each animal exhibit had a guide there to describe the animal's characteristics and habits. We even got to hold or touch some of them. They are doing such a remarkable job rescuing these animals too. Of course, the wine tasting was fun too.
