What an amazing experience! The views from the flight were stunning. We didn’t realize how beautiful the Freycinet peninsula and Wineglass Bay area is until we saw it from the air. Our pilot Jonah gave great informative commentary during the flight. Maria island was a beautiful lunch site next to the water. Jonah laid out a picnic blanket, but we found a lovely little patch of greenery that was the perfect place to enjoy lunch. We saw kangaroos, a large wombat, geese and magpies. It was a lovely place. All seats on the plane had great views, and Jonah switched everyone for the return flight to keep it fair. We got the back seats for the trip out to the island, and they turned out to be best for photos. The visual from the front is a bit better, but the props (which you don’t see with the naked eye) got in a number of our pics. Kudos to Jonah for letting everyone experience different views. Although there are longer air tours to different parts of Taz, we thought this one was perfect because it was easy and yet we still saw plenty of beautiful scenery.

This was a great tour. The staff was very friendly. It was a great way to see and do a lot in Tasmania in just a few hours. We would have enjoyed a bit more time in Maria Island to explore the wildlife.
Highly recommended experience

Spectacular coastal view and amazing wildlife encounter @ Maria Island

Flight experience is superb with an excellent pilot. Love the amazing aerial coastal and Maria island views, top with wildlife encounter of wombats and kangaroos, and culminating with good food in a picnic by the beach - highly recommended for a good 3-hour experience.
Highly recommended

Definitely an experience to add to one of the best in my life so far! Stunning scenery, delicious lunch and a fantastic guide. Alex made me feel safe and in good hands with her calm demeanour and interesting commentary. I loved being surrounded by wildlife in their natural habitat on Maria Island. Thank you so much Alex!
