Flight Description
The Tasman Peninsula scenic departs Hobart,
and heads east via Dodges Ferry and Dunalley. This area is popular
as a holiday spot due to its sheltered waterways and sandy beaches.
After flying over Dunalley, we head south towards the natural isthmus
of Eaglehawk Neck. Historically, this area was heavily guarded
to stop convicts escaping from Port Arthur.
From here the scenery changes to the dramatic cliffs of the Devils
Kitchen, Tasman Arch and Blowhole. The sheltered hideaway of Fortescue
Bay opens up to the West of our flight path as we fly over the sharp
vertical rock spires of Cape Hauy and the Lanterns.
Cape Pillar, Tasman Peninsula
Across Munro Bight the old lighthouse of Tasman Island appears
in its glory. From here we fly up over the penal settlement of Port
Arthur and north to Nubeena, where we cruise along the coast back
up to Hobart Airport.
This is a great flight for those with only a limited amount of time
who wish to see some of the most spectacular coastline of Australia.
