What to expect

Departing daily from Hobart, the aircraft will fly you into this remote area via the south coast. Flying over Hobart’s eastern suburbs and the Derwent River, you will make your way down the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, past Recherche Bay to Tasmanian’s most southern point, South East Cape. At this point, we leave civilization behind and enter the vast southwest wilderness by following the South Coast Track all the way to Melaleuca.

On arrival to Melaleuca, we'll board the tour boat for a cruise into Bathurst Harbour, an untouched waterway three times the size of Sydney Harbour. You will see the remote Celery Top Islands, take walks in the wilderness, giving you an opportunity to experience untouched landscape while breathing the cleanest air in the world. We will to pick a remote location for a delicious lunch including Tasmanian produce and wine.

On the return to Melaleuca, you’ll have the opportunity to explore some of the areas by walk, including a visit to see the rare and endangered Orange-Bellied Parrot at the Deny King Bird Hide, and the award-winning Needwonnee walk. Late in the afternoon, you’ll board on the aircraft again, and return to Hobart, flying via spectacular Federation Peak, and Mt Picton, over Huonville and Hobart city.
