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.

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!

Absolutely loved it! Booked this tour for myself and Husband to do on my birthday, and it was the best birthday! We were the only ones to book, so we basically had a private tour, with an amazing pilot and incredible views. Our pilot was friendly and knowledgeable, he shared some great stories and made sure we had a great time. We saw seals from the sky, and a wombat on the island. Definitely recommend it!

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.

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!

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
