Absolutely the best tour ever! Had a wonderful time! Was lucky enough to be part of a very small group, the day was Perfect allowing us to have great view of the rugged untouched wilderness, our Pilot James was very friendly, was also air captain on the boat ride once we arrived in Malaleuca, the air so pure! In one word. - Majestic! I felt privileged to have been able to visit such a pristine, beautiful place.

Igor_Z, Mar 2024
Was a great tour very well organised from the flight from Hobart to Melaleuca to the Boat scenic ride. Pilot and Guide are extremely knowledgeable, accommodative and just very nice guys Thank you!
Definitely to be experienced
GrantRoss_S, Jan 2024
You get a chance to experience the flight from front and back seat perspectives. On the ground , it’s just absolutely unspoilt and breathtakingly beautiful. Guide is entertaining too, with quite a bit of good banter.
Beautiful Part of Tassie
Lisa_C, Dec 2023
The flight left 1.5 hours late - our guide once we arrived in the SW was amazing, but we didn't like the pilot. Its a beautiful area. Would recommend taking some snacks, as lunch wasn't available until after 2pm.
Trip of a lifetime

An Extraordinary Day out at Southwest National Park
Selina_L, Feb 2023
An extraordinary day out with Callum and the Par Avion team. Taking in the scenery by air and by boat was a unique and 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 on our way back. The food and drinks were top notch. Everything was well organized and it was great to see the Southwest National Park through the eyes of a local - Callum's passion and enthusiasm for Tasmania was infectious. Don't hesitate - sign up for this tour!
Loved It

Travel to the remote Southwestern Tasmania
DrAlexanderJ_S, Oct 2022
The scenic flight around the coastline of Tasmania to the remote Bathurst Harbour with a very small group of people was amazing. It was an opportunity to see just how remote parts of Tasmania remain today. The pilots were fantastic and ensured everyone enjoyed the experience.

Thank you !
A "different world"
Andrew_C, Mar 2022
The uniqueness of a very remote environment Geology and landscape so fascinating. Food was tasty Guides were totally ensconced in their contribution to our experience Pilots flew the planes nice and sedately etc.
Seascapes, landscapes and wombats!

I'm Alive again
Paul_M, Jan 2022
What a wonderful experience, friendly, informal, very knowledgeable. From hospital and two years of lockdown, this tour made me feel alive for the first time in a long time. The crew were very understanding and caring of my limitations, I couldn't have been more satisfied. The beauty of this wilderness paridise is impossible to do justice to in words or images. You just have to go, you no it's a spectacular day when the tour guide takes so many photos and videos. Special thanks to Cal for making this a special day for my wife and I.
Wonderful day trip

Excellent guided tour of the World Heritage Wilderness Area. Highly recommended. Great scenery for photographic memory for life.
Wilderness at its best
Greg_B, Feb 2020
This is the best thing we’ve ever done in Tasmania. The flight along the spectacular coast, the short walks, the boat cruise of Bathurst Harbour and Port Davey. Then the flight back over the Arthur’s. All first class.

Lucy_P, Nov 2019
Due the the weather conditions Par Avion kindly changed the trip to Gordon River Explorer West coast tour. Even in the wet and grey conditions we had a marvellous time. Fabulous pilot Dan managed the conditions and the tour boat with premium seats was excellent. Par Avion do a wonderful job show chasing the beauty of Tasmania.
