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.

Amazing views of the city and surrounds from such a special aircraft, with knowledgeable and entertaining commentary along the way. The team were super friendly, great communication and efficient. Highly recommend doing this early in your Hobart visit.

I've just returned from the Bruny Island trip in the Cessna Caravan with my adult Grandson.
No words can describe the totally positive adventure we've had today.
If you're local like us, or a visitor to Hobart, you need to take a flight and experience it for yourself.
Thank you to the lovely young lady in the office who doubled as a competent line handler for departures and arrivals.
Thank you also to our pilot Jethro, your local knowledge that you imparted to us via a nonintrusive commentary was exceeded only by your superb flying skills and boat handling abilities.
Thank you for a top day, Clive and Jake.

Highly recommend! The experience was 10/10…. from the very first moment we were welcomed into the Cambridge office! We were made to feel so comfortable on the flight. The views were just breathtaking. A once in a lifetime experience (well, hopefully more than once!) Thank you so much!

We were welcomed by Bonnie and Lee and carefully shown how to be prepared for any potential problems, offered a last chance for a toilet break and off to enjoy a beautiful coastal flight to Bathurst harbour.
Lee pointed out the various towns, mountains, lakes etc along the way and touched down in Bathurst Harbour taking us to a waterside pick Nick spot where we feasted on our wine and hampers of salad, cheeses and fresh rolls.
The return was a more direct route to Hobart with more amazing mountains and the odd lake and waterfall.
Loved the old DeHavilland plane and Lee happily answered all of my sometimes inane questions.
Thanks for a very memorable day.

As a spur of the moment decision my sister Jenny Lane and I decided to jump on board for the one and a half hour trip with Lee to Port Arthur.
We had the most amazing time with valuable commentary from Lee who took us to many beautiful areas there and back. The highlight of the trip was the sighting of a blue whale and we got as close as we could to take photographs.
Unforgettable day thank you to Above and Beyond staff ✅

This was a spur of the moment decision!
A decision we were delighted we made. We flew to Port Arthur via Bruny Island and it was spectacular! Our pilot was knowledgeable and described everything as we went. We land at Port Arthur and had an excellent view from the water and above.
To see Tassie from the air was amazing, the rugged terrain, the pristine waters….breathtaking.
We also saw a blue whale, this is a sight that is very rare, it took this trip to ‘above and beyond’
Highly recommended!

Bathurst Harbour & Port Davey Destination Flight.
What an incredible experience. The team at Above & Beyond were so helpful throughout, from enquiring, booking, accommodating food requests, the lead up to the flight, and during the experience. Our pilot Lee is an awesome person and the perfect person to take you on such a beautiful flight.
Can not praise the team enough on their communication and commitment to making the trip not only memorable but easy to arrange & sort details out. The food was delicious and there was no way you left hungry.
Couldn’t of picked a better experience to surprise my partner with.
Thank you Above and Beyond, especially Lee for an awesome time.

We did a charter flight with Lee on 13-01-2023.
What a great day out - it was a real highlight in our trip.
I wasn't sold on doing a flight because it seemed like you'd just seem some coastline from the air and then come back again.
But Lee took us to a beautiful location and landed in a secluded bay with a pristine white beach. Our family and friends all enjoyed relaxing and swimming and eating the picnic that had been prepared for us. Afterwards we returned and Lee showed us more sights from the air. He's clearly a very skilled pilot, but also was personable and didn't make us feel like he was just processing anther tourist client as quickly as possible. A really memorable part of our trip to Hobart.
Thanks Lee for a great day out.
