About
Spectacular adventure flights along the Great Ocean Road. Tiger Moth World is ideally located in Torquay at the start of the Great Ocean Road. Step back in time and climb aboard an authentic WW2 open cockpit biplane for the flight of a lifetime. For those who dare, turn your life upside down with a choice of aerobatics from mild through to extreme. Whatever flight you choose, you will wing your way along the beaches and rugged cliff tops of the world famous Great Ocean Road! 12 Apostles flights are also available in our modern aircraft - the best and only way to see the whole of the Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles is from the start at Torquay. And do it in comfort and style in a modern aircraft. Australian Skydive are also based at the same location and offer tandem skydiving.

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.

Have always watched the tiger moth do it's thing just waiting for the day I could get a chance for myself! It was everything I'd hoped it would be and more. Arrived feeling nervous and after such an amazing experience left feeling elated. Will definitely get up there again 👍👍

Fantastic. Worth every cent. Great views -- went up towards Port Phillip Heads. Barwon Heads, Queenscliff etc. Would imagine views down coast in other direction would be even better. Even had a loop thrown in at the end. Special mention to pilot Harry. Made sure this was an experience to not be forgotten -- very professional and explained all turns etc so that I was ready for them. The open cockpit was amazing.

What an adventure. Had the extreme aerobatics flight with Harry today. Best thing you can do. Great pilot who clearly knows his stuff. Still smiling hours later. Can’t recommend this experience enough.

My son absolutely loved his acrobatic flight for his birthday. Everyone was welcoming and even gave my son a closer look at the other aircraft. Pilot was friendly and explained everything to my son and myself. There is a lovely grassed area with tables and seating which allowed us to take along a cake and sit and enjoy the atmosphere. There is even a small play park to keep the younger kids amused. Great day!

Had the most amazing experience in the Tiger Moth from Torquay to Anglesea and back today. The coastal sights were better than I imagined, really beautiful. Pilot Ben was friendly, reassuring and professional. Being a local, I've always seen the Tiger Moth in the sky and now I've finally flown over our sensational coast in one! Hope to fly again one day soon

An amazing experience. Welcoming staff and a fantastic, friendly pilot who delivers exactly the flight you ask for. The pivoting turns and awesome bird eye views for me and the extreme acobatics for my partner. The fight was an unforgettable experience and we thank the tiger moth Adventure Fights staff and pilot for an unique experience. We love the video of the experience. Totally captured the thrill and enjoyment of the flight. An experience l definitely would do again.

Cruising to Lorne and back today with Pat the Pilot was definitely one of my favourite lifetime experiences, and that’s saying plenty at my age.
Highly recommend doing this
It’s amazing a beautiful old plane is available for the public to experience it. Felt amazing being in an old classic feeling the wind and not forgetting the unbelievable view
It was also terrific to allow my family to walk up to the plane as we prepare for take off and landing for photos
Thanks to everyone, friendly and professional and keep up the great work. Will definitely love to do this again

What an experience. I was given a Coastal Adventure combined with a Barnstorming experience for my 70th birthday (by reading recent reviews there are other families who are trying to scare their 70 year olds to death). It didn't work!! I upgraded my barnstorming experience to Wild Aerobatics and also included the Video (Why would you not want to have that memory recorded).
I took my own hand held video camera to record my flight as the other video is a fixed camera facing back towards your face. I was able to record video out the side, forwards and down. Unfortunately my own video suffered from some vibrations due to wind buffeting but is certainly watchable. The plane video is as steady as a rock as the camera is mounted. The combination of both make for a great memory.
My pilot was Pat who did a magnificent job. From the minute I walked into the hangar he was friendly and informative. His preflight briefing was concise.
As far as my flight was concerned I was very lucky as the two planes were in use and we took off and flew in formation for several minutes before separating to do our own thing. This is something that does not happen all the time. I happened to be in the right spot at the right time. All recorded on video.
My flight from Torquay to Point RoadKnight (Anglesea) was great. 4-500 feet off the deck so you had a great view of all the scenery. The majority of the aerobatics were done over the Torquay Airport so your family can enjoy the event as well (but nowhere near as much as you). Loops, barrel rolls, wing stands and other moves I'm not sure about but all enjoyable.
My advice to all 70 year olds is to start dropping hints for a gift certificate for this experience. If they don't take the hint - Spend their inheritance and shout yourself the ride of a lifetime.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I certainly would!!!
Highly recommended - we gave our teenagers vouchers for their 18th birthdays as an experience of a lifetime ... but I suspect they will be back to try the flight with extreme aerobatics! They LOVED their flights, and the pilot, Chris, was fantastic!
Worth every cent - they will remember this for decades to come and smile every time they think of it!
