Cradle Mountain Flight Immediately on departure from Wynyard Airport you are embraced by the spectacular views of Table Cape. The patchwork of lush green and red earth farmlands of Tasmania's North West Coast is spread below. Enroute to Cradle Mountain you fly past St. Onwards over the snow capped jutting peaks of the highlands to Cradle Mountain, Pencil Pine Lodge and Waldheim Chalet, all clearly visible and then below Crater Lake and Dove Lake- a flying photographer's dream.
Flight time is normally just over an hour.
On to the unforgettable spender of the Southwest Wilderness, flying down the twisting, turning Franklin River past Frenchman's Cap, over the Great Ravine until we reach the deep, silent Gordon River, home of the Huon Pine tree. We turn and fly northwest, past the cruise boats to Macquarie Harbour and the Sarah Island convict ruins, then past the historic mining towns of Queenstown and Zeehan as we return to Wynyard. If you would prefer to plan your own itinerary our experienced pilots would be pleased to oblige. We fly all year round. We also offer generous family discounts.
