When planning your trip to Wave Rock, ticketing is straightforward. You pay a single vehicle fee to access the reserve, which covers everyone in your car for the day. This Perth to Wave Rock pass gives you access to the main geological sites and walking tracks in the area.
How much does it cost to enter Wave Rock?
A day pass costs $15 per vehicle.
You do not need to buy individual tickets for each passenger. The $15 fee covers the entire vehicle and allows access to the Wave Rock reserve for the day. You can purchase this pass directly at the meter or the kiosk when you arrive in Hyden.
What does the entry fee cover?
The pass allows access to the Wave Rock reserve, including the main rock formation and walking trails.
With your day pass, you can walk the 1.7km loop track connecting Wave Rock to Hippo's Yawn. You also get access to the surrounding areas like Lake Magic and the nearby trails. If you want to visit the local museums in town, such as The Lace Place or Miniature Soldier Museum, you will need to buy a separate Gold Pass at the kiosk.
Are there any exemptions to the fee?
Yes, guests staying at the Wave Rock Caravan Park receive free entry.
If you have booked a stay at the adjacent caravan park, the $15 vehicle fee is included in your accommodation cost. Simply check in at the park to receive your access pass.
Do I need to book tickets in advance?
No, you buy the vehicle pass on arrival.
Because entry is managed via a parking meter and a local kiosk, there is no need to pre-book tickets online. The attraction is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you can arrive at any time and pay at the machine.
Are guided tours included?
No, the entry fee covers unguided access only.
The $15 vehicle pass is for self-guided visits. If you prefer a guided experience or are not driving yourself, you can book a full-day coach tour from Perth. These tours start from ~$270 AUD and typically include your entrance fees, lunch, and a guide.
How does entry work for Mulka's Cave?
Mulka's Cave is part of the broader area, but specific fees or access may vary based on local signage.
Mulka's Cave and The Humps are located 15 minutes north of Wave Rock. The $15 vehicle pass generally covers parking at these natural sites as well, allowing you to view the 450 Aboriginal rock paintings without an additional charge.
