We had a wonderful time, flight. The pilots were very professional and easy going. They were very informative. The views were breathtaking, so pleased with the experience. Our picnic lunch was delicious as well. Thank you to all involved.

After weather cancelled our Southwest Experience twice and with our departure from Tasmania imminent, Par Avion offered us the option of a refund or a day on Maria Island. As it was a blue sky, low wind day in the east we decided to make the most of it and soon Michael our pilot, Dave our guide and the two of us were in the air, viewing from above where we had driven from Coles Bay the day prior, over the Freycinet Peninsula and magnificent Wineglass Bay then looping around to land on Maria Island. A very inviting cheese platter with tea, coffee (or wine!) for morning tea soon followed, then the two of us took a relaxed walk to the former settlement, stopping to photograph forester kangaroos, wombats and pademelons in the bush adjoining the track along the way. After we walked a leisurely circuit investigating the restored convict buildings we rejoined Michael and Dave to feast on a gourmet picnic lunch and wine on the beautiful fine white sand beach below. Following this and another lovely scenic walk back to the aircraft, it was mid afternoon and sadly time to leave. Returning to Cambridge airport flying over yet more beautiful scenery, before we knew it we were gently landing and our fabulous day was over. Michael’s expert piloting and Dave’s vast knowledge and experience of yachting, kayaking and hiking (indeed all things outdoors!), along with the fun banter between us all, made this truly a day we will never forget. Thanks Par Avion.

Would absolutely recommend this flight. Very professional service and excellent communication. Our pilot was fabulous. Sensational experience.

We had a lovely flight, where the pilot described what we were seeing, then landed on Maria Island for a good portion of time. 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.

We had a day trip to Bathurst harbour this time but went on the 3 day camping tour as well last year. I can't speak highly enough about travelling and touring with par Avion. Their service, commentary and catering was exceptional.

Everything was simply marvelous. The flights were spectacular, the scenery amazing, the guides fun, attentive, informative and lovely and the program tailored to suit our group excellently. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the food and drinks excellent. We have specific dietary requirements and these were accommodated without any fuss and without making us feel like we were being difficult. We were provided with excellent options at every meal including snacks while we were out seeing the sights. At the camp, everything was thought through down to the smallest detail - lanterns and headlamps provided in our hut/tent, the bed was lovely and comfortable. The camp has been cleverly designed to be low impact and was nestled into the forest to give you the feeling of truly being in the wilderness. Birds flying around immediately outside your tent! 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.

What an amazing experience! The flight around the coast was breathtaking and the boat trip was fascinating. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable (with a host of tall tales!), the food and drink were excellent, and the places we stopped were truly beautiful (Balmoral beach, where we had lunch, will remain in my memory for a very long time). And we had the best weather! I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone lucky enough to come to Tasmania.

Our Dec 18th flight/tour was cancelled by Par Avion only the day before and was notified through email only on Dec 17th. I didn't check my email until late afternoon of Dec 17th and checked with my travel agent. But my travel agent has no information of the cancellation at all. All our travel plan on the day was totally disrupted and even our hotel location was specifically picked to be near the airport. At least I got my refund back.

Absolutely the best experience. Jonah as,pilot boat captain and totally knowledgeable. Worth every cent and more. Best guide

Incredible Wonderful Stunning Surprising Majestic and Beautiful. It was a VERY special day. Our pilot and guide Gavin was amazing. Thank you.

An experience of awe. The plane trip over was breathtaking, even though there was cloud cover. The cruise was stunning. The staff were really friendly, the lunch was delicious and the scenery was gorgeous. As it was a lovely day we’re got to go out to sea. The tour of Sarah Island was a highlight. Our guide was funny and yet conveyed the cruelty the convicts endured. I had wanted to do the trip for many years. It lived up to all my expectations.

Thank you to the instructors and extended support team who made my solo flight experience truly valuable.

What an amazing experience in this pristine, remote and beautiful part of Tasmania. We had 3 days of brilliant sunshine with Callum and Dave, two wonderful tour leaders with an incredible knowledge of South West Tasmania and Bathurst Harbour. The scenic flight in and out of Melaleuca was brilliant, the wine and food and the glamping were outstanding and a trip I will remember for the rest of my life. THank you Par-Avion. Put it on your bucket list!

We had an amazing experience doing Par Avion’s Wineglass and Wildlife tour. We saw the most beautiful coastal sights of Tasmania and were even lucky enough to spot some whales at Wineglass Bay. Our pilot was a great guide too and made it a smooth day. Overall was a beautiful experience and would highly recommend!

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!
