Scenic Aerial Tour and Cider Lunch at Wilsons Promontory from Tyabb Airport

Experience Wilsons Promontory like never before with a 2.5-hour aerial tour departing from Tyabb Airport, Victoria. This adventure offers an extraordinary vantage point over one of Australia’s most iconic natural reserves, where granite mountain peaks, dense eucalyptus forests, and pristine white beaches meet the roaring turquoise waters of the Bass Strait. Wilsons Promontory, often called “The Prom,” is famed for its rugged landscapes and abundant native wildlife, making it a prized destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Your flight charts a scenic route southeast from Tyabb, soaring above the rolling farmland and woodlands of South Gippsland. As you approach the Promontory, the views open up to reveal the contrast of imposing granite outcrops against soft sand dunes and sheltered inlets. This region’s unique granite geology, formed over 400 million years ago, creates dramatic cliffs and boulders that frame the coastline.

Midway through the journey, the aircraft touches down near Gurneys Cidery, a family-owned estate perched on a scenic ridge overlooking Corner Inlet. Here, the day transforms from high-flying adventure to rustic indulgence. At Gurneys, guests enjoy a craft cider tasting paddle—handmade from local apples grown on-site—and an authentic wood-fired pizza lunch paired with local produce grazing platters. The cidery’s commitment to traditional cider-making techniques and sustainable orchard practices offers a genuine taste of Gippsland’s agricultural heritage.

After a relaxed lunch surrounded by panoramic views, you’ll board the plane for a tranquil return flight. Take in the patchwork of farmland, Western Port Bay’s calm waters, and the distant Mornington Peninsula coastline. This entire experience, blending aerial exploration with regional flavors, creates a unique way to appreciate Victoria’s diverse landscapes.

Wilson’s Prom Day Tour with Gurneys’ landing stands out as a remarkable combination of outdoor adventure and culinary delight, perfect for travelers seeking a fresh perspective on nature and local culture. With ease of access from Tyabb and the personalized touch of a small aircraft, this excursion offers an intimate and unforgettable connection to this treasured part of Gippsland.
