Tasmania Heli Operators?
Dear fellow PPruners,
I'm travelling out to Tasmania in a weeks time and spending 2 weeks out there with relatives. Anyone recommend/have experience of, a reliable Heli operator on the island that operates pleasure flights over the island. I've "googled" and there seem to be several, but always good to a get personal recommendation!:ok: Thanks JBL99 |
Rotorlift based at the Hobart airport offer tourism flights, the other operators in that area focus on utility work. There used to be a small tourist operator on the West Coast at Strahan but I don't know if they're still there. Launceston area has a few operators mainly focussed on Ag & utility. Par Avion operate fixed wing tours & Tasmanian Sea Planes operate a float equipped Beaver out of Hobart & offer flights around the main attractions in that area, might be cheaper & who doesn't love the sound of an old radial passing overhead.

Make sure your wife doesn't get lost: in these days of Brazilians, not many women have a full map of Tasmania any more.

Nothing wrong with being above the treeline!

I think you will find the fixed wing tourist flights just as much fun & a lot cheaper. There are numerous little strips all over the island if you wanted to land for some reason.

AC, very funny!
Thanks for the other replies, guess I'll have a look around when out there. Was hoping someone had some recent experience to share? Thanks again |
