Departing daily from Cambridge, we’ll 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 andpristine white beaches. 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. Here we’ll land and set off on an exploration of the island national park. It’s tranquility combined with its natural beauty, rare wildlife and fascinating history makes it a unique and special place. 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. You’ll have a chance while on the Island to wander through forests of magnificent blue and white gums, some of them over 400 years old and unique to Maria Island. 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 Barren Geese, 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.
After your time on Maria Island, we’ll board our aircraft once again return to Hobart.

It is a quality day, Par Avon and staff are professional, you know when you walk through the door you a going to be spoilt.




I booked a fly and cruise day tour and provided EIGHT different available dates well in advance. Despite that, they were still unable to fulfill the booking. No proper updates, no clear explanation – just silence. Dealing with them felt like talking to thin air.
For a company in the travel industry, basic responsiveness and clarity should be a given. Unfortunately, this company fails on both fronts. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere if you value your time and peace of mind.

The whole experience could not have been better and the pilots Patrick and Boy were so friendly and knowledgeable and just made the whole experience one that i will never forget. Thank you guys so much. The views we got especially around the Freycinet peninsula were stunning. After landing on Mariah Island, it was great to see the local wildlife which included Wombat, Wallabies, Sea Eagle. The highlight was spotting a Humpback Whale and her calf from the air and watching them breaching on numerous occasions. It was spectacular.
Also my fellow passengers, James and Eileen were great company and thank you to you both for just adding to what was an absolutely wonderful day.





We are visiting from the USA and had limited time, so this was a great way for us to see some things we wouldn’t have had time for otherwise.
The picnic lunch was great and they even accommodated our request for something besides seafood.










Quite a bit of our time during the day was spent in the boat travelling to beautiful, secluded beaches on Bathurst Harbour, visiting indigenous sites and historical sites, going on short to medium-length hikes. Having two guides at all times, the group could break into those keener on slightly more strenuous hikes and those more content to potter
We were also lucky enough to have great wildlife experiences including seeing dozens of the endangered Orange-Bellied Parrot, as well as potoroos, wedge-tailed eagles and a white-bellied sea eagle nest complete with fledglings.
The guides themselves were amazing, very, very knowledgeable and fonts of stories of all kinds, covering the geology, history and ecology of this amazing, wonderful region.
The boat trip out to Port Davey proper was a true highlight with dozens of islands, beaches, cliffs, blowholes and arches, all in a simply spectacular coastline. All done in comfort and safety with an engaging commentary and the guides being flexible and responsive to our individual requests.
We highly recommend this trip of a lifetime.


Would definitely recommend this trip.


I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone lucky enough to come to Tasmania.


Great weather and beautiful flight highly recommended
















Left at 8.30 and returned at 4.30. Our flight to the South West Wilderness took us over the most beautiful scenery. Cameron, our pilot was so full of knowledge, which he was happy to impart. Not only was he our pilot, captain of the boat, historian and also server of food. He was excellent. Lunch on the beach.
Highly recommend this tour.




Although appearing very young he is an experienced pilot and we felt very safe with him! He gave a very interesting talk during our flight and was a very pleasant tour guide. Make this a part of your Tassie holiday-you won’t regret it!











We have lived in Tasmania our whole lives and are so glad to have had the opportunity to see a special part of our island state. Such a great part of our Island Wilderness area and so peaceful with only the noises of nature around.





This is the first negative report I have posted. Normally, if I find something off then I just dont comment, but this total lack of professionalism really got my goat, especially when it was just a feeble, sorry for their mistake.
Not good enough.






Melaleuca was so beautiful, so much history and stunning scenery, we saw whales flying down the coast and the rare orange bellied parrots in their natural habitat. Our tour made it right out to the heads of Port Davey, where we could feel the remoteness, isolation and beauty of this place. I would absolutely recommend this trip, a well-run tour and a perfect day out.














Flawless beginning to end.
Loved the amazing views - they were breathtaking. Wineglass Bay definitely a highlight.
Alex the pilot was friendly and really informative.
Landing on the grassy airstrip on Maria Island was fantastic. Nice short hike and a lovely picnic lunch.
This is a must do!
