Experience the Mornington Peninsula like never before with a breathtaking circular flight departing from Tyabb Airport in Victoria, Australia.

Perfectly suited for adventurers and casual sightseers alike, this trip reveals the region’s natural beauty from a vantage point few get to enjoy, making it a must-do when visiting the Mornington Peninsula.
The flight commences with a gentle ascent over lush, rural fields, descending south toward the bayside town of Dromana. From here, the aircraft tracks along Port Phillip Bay’s eastern shoreline, offering sweeping views of the sparkling blue bay, coastal suburbs, and the iconic rise of Arthurs Seat, a distinctive granite formation gifted with panoramic lookout spots for hikers below. Moving southwest, the route follows the coastline toward Port Phillip Heads, where you can spot Point Nepean’s historic fortifications and witness the powerful tidal currents of “The Rip,” the turbulent entrance linking the bay to the wild Bass Strait.
Further along, the flight showcases the dramatic cliffs and wild surf beaches characteristic of Victoria’s southern coastline. The renowned Cape Schanck Lighthouse perched on black volcanic basalt rock provides a striking contrast against the ocean’s deep blues. This hand-built lighthouse, active since 1859, serves as a cultural landmark guarding mariners navigating these treacherous waters. On the return leg, the plane glides inland over patchworks of vibrant vineyards, bushland, and rolling countryside, painting a picture of the peninsula's rich agricultural heritage and serene landscapes.
