Unforgettable experience.

Published on Feb, 2025

A unique amazing experience to a beautiful isolated part of the world. All staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Hope to stay overnight next time.

What a fantastic experience in the SW

Published on Feb, 2025

Wow, what a fantastic experience we had on our trip to the SW, the scenery was breathtaking, the flight smooth, the food was great, the pilot Michael and the guide Callum were A1 and to top is off we had beautiful weather, would highly recommend the trip/experience.

Outstanding Life Experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Oh my God - where do I start! 24 hrs later and I’m still buzzing - hard to believe we had such an epic life experience. As a Tassie local, I’d had this trip on my bucket list for at least 20 years and finally got to tick it off yesterday. We had really high expectations after reading the description of the trip, but our expectations were hugely exceeded. Michael, our pilot was really friendly, helpful and obviously an experienced professional - our flights (and landings) were first class. Callum, our guide, made the day so enjoyable. I’ve travelled the world over 45 years and I don’t think I’ve ever met a more knowledgeable, passionate and lovely guide. He knows every inch of the Southwest coast and told stories all day that immersed us in the history, geology and importance of this stunning and unique treasure land. The morning tea was perfect and served in a very special place - I won’t ruin the surprise. Our gourmet lunch on a crazy spectacular beach (again I won’t divulge the location) was extraordinary - delicious Tassie produce and wine served in the most idyllic location. I can’t believe I haven’t done this trip before now - it was simply outstanding. Thanks to everyone at Par Avion for creating this magical experience - we can’t wait to do the West Coast trip now!

Great way to experience the Southwest Tasmanian wilderness

Published on Dec, 2024

We did an amazing tour to Melaleuca and Bathurst Harbour in the Southwest National Park with Par Avion on Christmas Day. The pilots clearly love their jobs, not just flying us safely from Hobart and back again, but also acting as boat driver, waiter, bush expert and tour guide. Highly recommended!

Not to be missed

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely fantastic day. This is such a special part of Tasmania that is not accessible to most people so the flight and boat tour is a great opportunity to see magnificent wilderness from the air and water . The pilot’s commentary was informative and the guide, Greg, related so much history and anecdotes about this south west region. Enjoying Tasmanian refreshments sitting in a pristine wilderness is so special . Well done Par Avion ; world class !
