Testimonials
“After reading on trip advisor about both the trek (to the wineglass bay lookout and the beach) and people’s disappointment with the view when they got there, we started to research other options. We came across the great reviews for the 45min scenic flight over Wineglass bay and the Freycinet Peninsula with Freycinet Air, called up, asked a few questions and decided to treat ourselves by making a booking a few days in advance. We set the alarm clocks and dragged my teenage girls up early to make the 2hrs and 20mins drive up from Hobart to Freycinet for a 9am take off. Believe you me it was worth it! The views were amazing, the plane was super smooth in the early morning light winds and our pilot, Pascal, was both a great pilot and super informative. We landed with bucket loads of brilliant photos of both Wineglass Bay and the whole peninsula, as well as a lifetime of memories.”

Our FAQs
Is flying in a small aeroplane or helicopter safe?
Absolutely. We operate both single engine and twin engine aeroplanes, and a turbine helicopter.
All of our aircraft adhere to a strict CASA maintance schedule. Regular servicing is conducted by a Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
There is a specified time interval (based on either flight hours or years) for when most aircraft parts must be overhauled or replaced. To put it simply – things are replaced well before they are worn out!
Are your aircraft comfortable inside?
There is sufficient legroom for people of just about any height in our aircraft.
While some aircraft provide more space than others, once the seats are adjusted to a suitable position it is a comfortable ride.
Can I rent out the entire aircraft?
We offer the option of paying extra to have the entire aircraft to yourself. People may choose this option to guarentee the best viewing seats, more room to move (with the option of removing seats), or privacy.
Over the years there have been many marriage proposals on our aircraft, we are more than happy to help out however we can!
Do you have EFTPOS facilities?
Can I pre-pay for the flight?
If you would like to pre-pay, please contact us and we can process an over-the-phone payment. Otherwise, payment on the day is fine.
Are walk-ins welcome?
We always try to accommodate walk-ins for people who decide last minute.
We recommend booking in advance to save disappointment or waiting around for a while, we can suggest activities to fill in time if necessary.

If the weather is not suitable, we will re-schedule your flight to a better time or day. We will try to give you as much notice as possible, to save you from driving us to be disappointed.
