Set along Tasmania’s rugged east coast, Freycinet Air Tasmania offers an exceptional way to witness the splendor of the Freycinet Peninsula from the sky. Their 50-minute Soar Above Freycinet Helicopter Flight draws adventurers into an aerial realm where jagged pink granite mountains plunge sharply into indigo waters, and the curving crescent of Wineglass Bay emerges with unmistakable clarity. This airborne journey showcases the Hazards Mountain Range, including notable peaks like Mt Amos, and extends to Schouten Island’s isolated shores.
Flying above this coastal stretch reveals geological contrasts forged over millennia, where granite underpins steep ridges and soft sand dunes shape Friendly Beaches. The sparkling oceans below offer glimpses of local marine wildlife: pods of dolphins, seals basking on rocky outcrops, and, during migration seasons, whales crossing nearshore channels. Inland views highlight the patchwork of verdant woodlands and the quaint township of Coles Bay nestled against the coast.
