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!

The whole experience was amazing. Left at 8.30 and returned at 4.30. Our flight to the South West Wilderness took us over the most beautiful scenery. Cameron, our pilot was so full of knowledge, which he was happy to impart. Not only was he our pilot, captain of the boat, historian and also server of food. He was excellent. Lunch on the beach. Highly recommend this tour.

Wow, wow, wow. Long time local and always wanted to do this and so happy I did. The whole day was amazing and our pilots passion for what he does shone through and was the finishing touch. Thank you

We had a fabulous half hour flight with Theo (Pilot) from ParAvion. Although appearing very young he is an experienced pilot and we felt very safe with him! He gave a very interesting talk during our flight and was a very pleasant tour guide. Make this a part of your Tassie holiday-you won’t regret it!

Had a great time! Pilot Theo was very thorough and professional, and it was a thrill to be able to control the plane.

Fantastic once-in-a-lifetime experience! Greatly enjoyed exploring the Southwest wilderness with our friendly, knowledgeable guide and pilot Gavin. So amazing to see the Australian landscape virtually untouched by man. Unreal views, what a great day out!

The entire trip was wonderful. Gavin (pilot) made the trip so enjoyable, his knowledge and history of the areas were very important and interesting. We learnt alot about an area we have never visited even though we are Tassie born. I would recommend this cruise to anyone. Boat trip was really enjoyable, lunch and morning tea was lovely with Tassie wines, juices and cheeses. Flights down and back was really great and we felt safe in the small plane. Views were spectacular and plenty of opportunities to get great photos. Par Avion, thank you for great service and professional service. Janette and Steve

We loved this trip. We saw such wonderful views from the plane and when we landed at Melaleuca the scenery was stunning. We had a delicious morning tea and lovely hot coffee, then we travelled by boat up Melaleuca Inlet to Bathurst Harbour where the sights were brilliant. Our pilot, Callum was brilliant. He was also our boat captain and everything else that was needed. We landed at a beautiful spot for lunch, again it was delicious. We loved every minute of where we went and what we saw. Visiting Deny King’s home and boats were stored, was a highlight. Altogether a fabulous day.

Par Avion is an extremely professional and well run company. We had been trying to go on this trip a few times and their professionalism in keeping us advised of this experience was exceptional. Our pilot was extremely knowledgeable in the area and showed us a part of Tasmania that we were unable to experience anywhere else. Unfortunately due to bad weather we were unable to complete the trip as our safety is their main priority. I can recommend them with the highest esteem.

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!

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.

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.

Back on 3rd march, I booked online and paid for a flight on 6th march. On 1st March, I was contacted by phone to advise that my flight was cancelled. When I asked why?, I was told by the Par Avion representative that she hadn't looked at the online bookings and the flight was full! This was going to be a highlight of our trip to Tassie from Qld. but now its just a very bad taste in my mouth. No other alternative dates were available before we return home. I was flabbergasted. I was given a refund on the flight, but I had separately booked accomodation near the airport to be ready, close at hand for the flight at 0800. This is the first negative report I have posted. Normally, if I find something off then I just dont comment, but this total lack of professionalism really got my goat, especially when it was just a feeble, sorry for their mistake. Not good enough.

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!
