A full‑day, Korean‑language sightseeing tour from Perth to Wave Rock, York and nearby rock formations—this guide explains the route, highlights and practical facts to plan the trip.
A Day at Wave Rock: 13 Hours from Perth to a 2.7‑Billion‑Year‑Old Granite Wave.
This full‑day Perth Wave Rock Adventure Korean Tour carries you out of the city into Western Australia’s rural heart to stand before Wave Rock, a granite swell formed an estimated 2.7 billion years ago. The formation rises roughly 15 metres and stretches about 110 metres, and the itinerary pairs that geological spectacle with a visit to historic York, a stop at the distinctive pet cemetery, a countryside lunch and nearby outcrops like Hippo’s Yawn.

Outing Highlights
Wave Rock — a granite wave frozen in time
Wave Rock is the tour’s gravitational centre: a sweeping granite formation estimated at more than 2.7 billion years old, rising to about 15 metres and extending roughly 110 metres—an iconic photo subject and a rare example of long‑term geologic sculpting.
York — colonial streets and countryside character
The itinerary includes York, a historic town that preserves early British colonial architecture and the atmosphere of rural Western Australia, offering a contrast to the raw geology of Wave Rock.
Pet Cemetery and country lunch
Along the way you’ll visit the touching Pet Cemetery, a local curiosity, and pause for a relaxed countryside lunch—small moments that frame the day between long drives and the visit to Wave Rock.
