We came to Tasmania to squeeze as much in as possible. This tour took in great views of the east coast of Tasmania and Wine Glass bay. The day was a bit gloomy and over cast and I was worried about turbulence. But our pilot flew a smooth flight and but any fears as easy. We had a lovely lunch on the beach and the rain held off which made our tour that much better.
Enjoyed the experience, great way to see the country. Friendly pilots and guide. Should have brought warmer clothes for the boat ride.
After being cancelled twice beforehand we scored a fantastic day going out to Port Davey and the Break Sea Islands which is something not a lot of the tours are able to do due to swells. The scenery was amazing flying over Bruny Island and the coast on the way down and then flying over Federation Peak and Mount Wellington on the homeward journey. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable (Cal) sharing many tips and facts a long the way. After the flight we boarded a little boat weaving through the rivulets and channels to Bathurst Harbour. Stopping for morning tea with Tasmanian cheeses and shortbread with plunger coffee at a historical house now lovingly restored and after more cruising lunch was on Balmoral Beach which was lovely served with Tasmanian wine. Our plane was a six seater (including the pilot) and the other groups were in a twelve seater. This is such a pristine part of Tasmania not easily accessible which is stunning and so worth the cost to do this!
The highlight of our week in Tasmania! Our flights with Theo at the controls were incredible; we saw parts of Tasmania that we couldn't possible have viewed any other way. Callum provided us with wonderful insight into the history, flora and fauna of Southwest National Park, including a chance to watch endangered orange-bellied parrots at a feeding station. Lunch on secluded, beautiful Balmoral Beach was delightful.
An extraordinary day out with Callum and the Par Avion team on the Southwest Wilderness Tour. Taking in the spectacular scenery of Southwest National Park by air and by boat was a special experience. We made it all the way out to the Break Sea Islands, which was worth the ride! Callum navigated the boat expertly through 35 knot winds. The food and drinks were also top notch. It was great to see the Park through the eyes of a local - Callum's passion and enthusiasm for Tasmania was infectious. Don't hesitate - sign up for this tour!
I had an amazing time, the pilot was welcoming and fun to chat with and it’s definitely helped me see I would like to go for my pilots licence. Great way to see Hobart
This trip has been on our Tassie bucket list for years and it did not disappoint.
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.

Absolutely amazing trip- highlight of our 4 week holiday. Really well organised and Callum was lovely and so knowledgeable.
We were lucky enough to have the most amazing pilots rewarding us with an enjoyable flight. The other passengers were so friendly & the aerial views on our Hobart/Cambridge-Freycinet adventure were breathtaking. Wineglass Bay was crystal clear & certainly a highlight. The kindness shown by not landing into a family of Tasman Geese on the ground, re-circling and trying again was so endearing. Lunch was enjoyable, conversation flowed and photo opportunities were abundant. We would recommend this scenic flight as a ‘must do’ whilst in Hobart, Tasmania.

17 Orange-bellied parrots (OBPs) have returned to Melaleuca!
In the past week, our volunteers observed another nine OBPs at the feed tables, adding to the eight already confirmed return birds.
The first round of spring releases also kicks off in the coming weeks with seven adult birds to be released this week and a further release planned for the following week. These birds are released from captive management facilities to help boost the size of the wild breeding population in time for the breeding season.

You had a cracking day.
I still think this is the best experience in Tasmania 👌❤️
We were there yesterday and I see our excellent guide and pilot is there, Theo, what a great asset to Par Avion !
Four Orange-bellied Parrots have arrived back at their breeding grounds in Tasmania's far south-west, marking the start of the species' annual migration.
The parrots undertake an annual migration of over 1,000km between their breeding grounds in Melaleuca and wintering grounds in Victoria's Port Phillip Bay.
The species is listed as critically endangered, with only around 50 remaining in the wild.
