This 25-minute aerial journey redefines how visitors engage with one of Australia’s most celebrated coastal landscapes. Located near Friendly Beaches, Tasmania, the flight sails above the iconic Wineglass Bay, a jewel of the Freycinet Peninsula known for its curved, white sandy shoreline and vibrant turquoise waters framed by rugged pink granite peaks of the Hazards Mountain range.
