What you can expect

Get a bird's-eye view of the Tasman sea cliffs and the old convict settlement of Port Arthur on this spectacular helicopter ride. This flight takes you over the wilderness at the southeastern tip of Tasmania, offering a great way to see some of the country's most beautiful landscapes and historic sites.

You board the helicopter at a helipad in Port Arthur, right next to some amazing views. Admire scenery that stretches all the way to Hobart and Mount Wellington in the west and to Eaglehawk Neck in the north, and then fly out over Fortescue Bay for a visit to the skies over Cape Huay and a look at the towering rock column of the Totem Pole and the cliffs of Tasman National Park.

Next, you pass over the Port Arthur historic site for a look at the remains of the 19th-century prison colony. Learn a bit about the settlement's history from your pilot and check out the long, slanted peninsula of 3 Capes Track before you circle back to the helipad and bring the incredible flight to a close.
