Wander through forests of magnificent blue and white gums, some of them over 400 years old. You’ll step back in time and walk where convicts and explorers have walked before you.

Maria Island is also famous for its abundance of wildlife being home to rare and endangered species like the Swift Parrot and Cape Barron Goose, Wombats, Kangaroos and of course, the Tasmanian Devil.

What an amazing experience! The views from the flight were stunning. We didn’t realize how beautiful the Freycinet peninsula and Wineglass Bay area is until we saw it from the air. Our pilot Jonah gave great informative commentary during the flight. Maria island was a beautiful lunch site next to the water. Jonah laid out a picnic blanket, but we found a lovely little patch of greenery that was the perfect place to enjoy lunch. We saw kangaroos, a large wombat, geese and magpies. It was a lovely place. All seats on the plane had great views, and Jonah switched everyone for the return flight to keep it fair. We got the back seats for the trip out to the island, and they turned out to be best for photos. The visual from the front is a bit better, but the props (which you don’t see with the naked eye) got in a number of our pics. Kudos to Jonah for letting everyone experience different views. Although there are longer air tours to different parts of Taz, we thought this one was perfect because it was easy and yet we still saw plenty of beautiful scenery.

This was a great tour. The staff was very friendly. It was a great way to see and do a lot in Tasmania in just a few hours. We would have enjoyed a bit more time in Maria Island to explore the wildlife.

Absolutely loved it! Booked this tour for myself and Husband to do on my birthday, and it was the best birthday! We were the only ones to book, so we basically had a private tour, with an amazing pilot and incredible views. Our pilot was friendly and knowledgeable, he shared some great stories and made sure we had a great time. We saw seals from the sky, and a wombat on the island. Definitely recommend it!

Truly fantastic experience! Flawless beginning to end. Loved the amazing views - they were breathtaking. Wineglass Bay definitely a highlight. Alex the pilot was friendly and really informative. Landing on the grassy airstrip on Maria Island was fantastic. Nice short hike and a lovely picnic lunch. This is a must do!
