What an amazing experience! The views from the flight were stunning. We didn’t realize how beautiful the Freycinet peninsula and Wineglass Bay area is until we saw it from the air. Our pilot Jonah gave great informative commentary during the flight.
Maria island was a beautiful lunch site next to the water. Jonah laid out a picnic blanket, but we found a lovely little patch of greenery that was the perfect place to enjoy lunch. We saw kangaroos, a large wombat, geese and magpies. It was a lovely place.
All seats on the plane had great views, and Jonah switched everyone for the return flight to keep it fair. We got the back seats for the trip out to the island, and they turned out to be best for photos. The visual from the front is a bit better, but the props (which you don’t see with the naked eye) got in a number of our pics. Kudos to Jonah for letting everyone experience different views.
Although there are longer air tours to different parts of Taz, we thought this one was perfect because it was easy and yet we still saw plenty of beautiful scenery.

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!

Amazing day. We had beautiful food with unbelievable view. Our pilot was fantastic. Feeling very lucky to have such wonderful weather and clear views.

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.
