WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Freycinet National Park
Fly towards and over the top of the Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania’s East Coast. Freycinet National Park is one of Tasmania’s very first National Parks (est. 1916) and is home to dramatic pink granite mountains, secluded bays, crystal clear waters and pristine white beaches.
2. Wineglass Bay
Freycinet is home to Tasmania’s and arguably Australia’s most iconic white sands beach – Wineglass Bay, the aerial view of this sight is something truly spectacular and an unforgettable. From the Freycinet Peninsula, we fly over the seal colony of Ile Des Phoques, then we continue our scenic flight towards our destination, Maria Island.
3. Maria Island
Here we’ll land and set off on an exploration of the island national park. Maria Island’s pristine untouched beaches, the crystal clear waters of the surrounding marine reserve and scenery like the magnificent Mt Maria and Bishop and Clerk peaks will take your breath away. Wander through forests of magnificent blue and white gums, some of them over 400 years old. You’ll step back in time and walk where convicts and explorers have walked before you. At the Fossils Cliffs you’ll see shellfish fossil beds unlike any other in the world. Maria Island is also famous for its abundance of wildlife being home to rare and endangered species like the Swift Parrot and Cape Barron Goose, Wombats, Kangaroos and of course, the Tasmanian Devil. It’s difficult to describe the beauty of Maria Island, you really have to see it to believe it.
4. Maria Island National Park
As you interact with the Maria Island’s local wildlife and take in the spectacular scenery your guide will prepare a bountiful Tasmanian picnic looking over the Northern end of the majestic national park, this feast is full of some of Tasmania’s finest offerings, consisting of fresh Oysters, Mussels, Salmon, Mackerel, Scallops, Octopus, all locally sourced from Tasmanian’s beautiful and clean waterways, this seafood smorgusboard is accompanied with paired Tasmanian premium white wine. Please note, if seafood isn’t your liking that’s not a problem at all, just let us know at the time of booking and we’ll happy source a beautiful mix of different Tasmanian produce.

This was a great tour. The staff was very friendly. It was a great way to see and do a lot in Tasmania in just a few hours. We would have enjoyed a bit more time in Maria Island to explore the wildlife.

Absolutely loved it! Booked this tour for myself and Husband to do on my birthday, and it was the best birthday! We were the only ones to book, so we basically had a private tour, with an amazing pilot and incredible views. Our pilot was friendly and knowledgeable, he shared some great stories and made sure we had a great time. We saw seals from the sky, and a wombat on the island. Definitely recommend it!

This is an amazing bucket list experience to do, anyone considering splurging- do it, you’ll have no regrets!! The scenery during the flight is breath taking, Maria island is stunning. While on the island I had a baby wombat come up to me, head butt my foot and try to eat my shoe!

Flight experience is superb with an excellent pilot. Love the amazing aerial coastal and Maria island views, top with wildlife encounter of wombats and kangaroos, and culminating with good food in a picnic by the beach - highly recommended for a good 3-hour experience.

Fantastic experience, highly recommended!
We eventually got to enjoy this after having cancelled twice due to Covid, and it was certainly worth the wait.
Lovely lunch on the beach at Maria Island, our pilot was full of information and very friendly and we saw some spectacular views.
