Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We finally got to redeem our Christmas 2020 voucher this week. Rotorlift had been unfailingly cooperative and helpful in spite of all of the delays.
Our trip was totally worth the wait.
Ian, our pilot, was efficient, friendly, unobtrusive.
Chris in the office equally delight and helpful.
And the flight??? Fabulous and breathtaking.
We had two hours to eat our posh picnic and plenty of time to walk on this glorious little windswept island.
Highly recommended.

We had the most wonderful experience with Ryan our pilot flying ex Cambridge to Tasman Island on the Tasman Peninsula. Pushed for time, we selected this tour to experience the beautiful wilderness over the Three Capes region and have the very special experience of being able to land and explore the island on foot. The trip down over the various bays and peninsula to get to the island was amazing, but having a few hours on the island with Ryan to explain the history of the lighthouse construction was even better. We wondered how resilient and strong those pioneers were to achieve what they did. Loved walking through one of the houses with artefacts from the history of the settlement. Loved our picnic lunch and Pinot, more than we could finish. The flight home allowed a birds eye view over The Neck and learnt how it was instrumental as a deterrent against escape for the convicts at Port Arthur. This is a luxury trip, not a budget option, but a totally spectacular way to access this remote and stunning island.

I was lucky enough to go on a trip with Rotor-Lift Helicopters. The views over Hobart were spectacular and the Rotor-Lift pilot was very capable and attentive to the group. Would highly recommend the experience.

Food for thought with amazing creativity and artistic flair, definitely worth a visit. If you take the ferry pay the extra for the posh pit, fantastic day!!

Not really my kettle of fish but I am so glad my friend and I spent the day there. What amazing art in various styles by many artists. Beautiful grounds and some restaurants only thing that was disappointing you cannot bring own foods This limits family as food little costly and different. Would recommend a must even if you only do,it once

Thanks to Laura, Susan and the team at Rotorlift for another successful helicopter adventure in Tasmania. You guys are always so helpful in the planning stages and the hop from MONA to Port Arthur to Saffire was perfect. The scenery was amazing, the pilots were friendly and reassuring and everything operated on time and seamlessly. You do make life easy and fun!!

Just experienced The Grand Tour helicopter tour through this company and it was amazing, excellent views of the rugged landscapes of Tasman Island with Cape Pillar & Raoul, perfect for any experienced/novice photographer, my pilot was highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable which made the trip even better, highly recommend if you want to something special while visiting Hobart.

Thank you so much to Rotorlift and their professional pilot Bryn, not only was he a great pilot, but very knowledgeable of the area and his running commentary was just awesome. He was that good we asked him
To join us for lunch where he continued to explain some history of Tasmania and its locals. This company is a true 10/10 in every aspect. We will be back for another flight soon.

We arrived in Hobart by ship on a Sunday morning. Margie from Rotor-Lift was waiting for us and, after a quick coffee, we were driven along traffic-free motorways to Hobart Airport.
Our pilot Rod had us airborne in minutes and flew us on a leisurely and informative circuit over the CBD of Hobart before meandering above the Derwent River to MONA (Museum of Old and New Art). We were met at MONA with a private golf cart ride directly to the entrance and enjoyed MONA thoroughly before our ferry trip back to the CBD.
I can't imagine travelling to MONA in any better style and with all inclusive pricing being so incredibly affordable. As a tourism operators ourselves we recognise quality operators when we experience them.
We have use several helicopter services around the world but Rotor-Lift Aviation here in Hobart exceeded any heli-experience to date. Very highly recommended.

Would it be possible to land on Tasman Island? 3 of us would like an hour or two if possible. Do you still fly from Point Puer?
Special occasion on 23 December ... what's the chances?
And I understand that this is weather specific.

Thank you for your enquiry.
It is possible to land on Tasman Island, however landing permission needs to be obtained from Parks and Wildlife and the islands care taker before we can organise the flight down there.
All flights depart from our base at Rotor-Lift. There would be a possibility for a pick up at Point Puer, but you will once again need to obtain landing permission from the property owner.
