A memorable and spectacular experience. - A truly memorable experience. We had a beautifully smooth flight, and our pilot and co-pilot were knowledgeable, professional and polite, and provided a lot of interesting information. Our boat ride took us along beautiful waterways, past a sea-eagle nest and interesting geological formations. Mid-morning tea and lunch were both delicious and we had these on two different and lovely beaches. The flight back over the spectacular Arthur Range and seeing Federation Peak was the highlight for me.

Amazing experience. 1000% recommended..! - 5 stars is not enough. I would give this experience 100 stars. We were absolutely blessed with our guides. Very personable, VERY knowledgeable and within 5 minutes they make you feel like old friends. The flights were an amazing experience, and why you get to see when you're over in Bathurst Harbour is just incredible. Visiting Deny's property was something I'll never forget. I recommend this absolutely and I would do it again in a heartbeat...

Sensational Day in the wild - The whole day was fantastic from start to finish. My group of 4 seniors enjoyed every part of the trip, the flight there and back, the knowledge about the OBP, the tour in the boat on Bathurst Harbour, lunch on the beach and the trip home. Thankyou.

The Best Day in Tasmania - The best day ever!! We were originally booked to do the Gordon River tour but minimum numbers were not met so we switched to the South West Wilderness tour. We are so happy that happened as this tour was such an amazing experience. We had perfect weather, the perfect pilot and perfect guide inTheo. The area is so special and it was amazing to visit, eat our lunch (delicious) on Balmoral Beach. Our boat journey took us all the way to Port Davey and we learned about the history of the whole area. Our flights were down the coast and back over the mountains, such an amazing contrast. We would love to visit Tasmania again and do another trip, well worth the cost, you will love every minute of your day.

An unforgettable experience in one of the most wonderful places on the planet! - Par Avion have put together a day tour that will leave a lifelong memory. Two light aircraft take the luckiest 10 people imaginable south via the coast to Melaleuca for a day exploring the natural wetland environs of Bathurst Habour - by boat and bush track. Guided and, in our case, piloted by Michael, we learned the amazing stories of the stoic handful of Europeans who chose this pristine wilderness as their home decades before. We also learned of the First Nation's custodians that successfully managed this beautiful place for thousands of years before that. We were treated to a hearty lunch accompanied by some great Tassie wine. The inlets, passages and narrows that provide untouched natural vegetation to (and into) the waterways provide a labyrinth of sheltered inlets from which the day's itinerary was decided as the weather revealed its own fickle contribution. The return flight, this time further west over the coast and then north over Port Davey, the spectacular Arthur Ranges and over Hobart and the River Derwent was the perfect ending to an amazing day. Thank you Par Avion for a brilliant day.

Amazing experience to see South West Tasmania. Exceptional guides who shared lots of information. - Outstanding tour. Loved the two plane flights and saw so much amazing scenery and learnt a lot from the informative commentary. Tasty lunch! Fantastic to be able to see the South West Wilderness from a boat and walk through a part of the National park.

Great flight - runway in the middle of nowhere - We had the most amazing weather so the flight was spectacular. Our pilots/tour guides Patty and Zanden were great, could tell they loved being in the air. The tour company offered heated jackets which I highly recommend- the boat ride is cold. Balmoral beach/lagoon was a highlight.

Beware cancellations - Beware cancelations! The wilderness tour was going to be the highlight of our Australian trip we have been planning for 6 months . We received a message the night before the tour- cancelling due to high winds. Since we are only here for 2 days and our schedule is fully booked, rescheduling is not possible. The desk clerk at our hotel said his mother tried to take the tour and ran into multiple cancellations. This is likely a nice tour if you are a local resident, but a huge gamble if you have limited time. We are waiting for a refund for the tour cost, tour company commission, and travel agent commission. If you choose this tour, I hope you have a better experience. I would NOT sign up again now that I know how frequently the tour is cancelled.
