Description

Arriving at the Port Arthur helibase overlooking the lavender farm and out to the ocean, you will be greeted by ground staff who will run through a short safety briefing and overview of the flight path. You will board the helicopter and be introduced to your pilot who will get you up in the air in no time. The loop will first take you to the north of the lavender farm with views opening up all around as the helicopter climbs. To the north will be views of EagleHawk Neck, while to the south will be the Port Arthur township and further, Cape Pillar and Raoul. The crystal clear waters of Fortescue Bay will be the first major sight which marks the end point of the Three Capes Track – home to a popular campsite and swimming beach for the 'cold-water immune' Tasmanian. Following the coast around you arrive at Cape Hauy - one of the 'Three Capes'. If lucky, you might catch glimpses of fearless rock climbers tackling the 'Candlestick' or kayaks passing through the narrow gaps between pillars. Heading back towards the east, you'll cross the Tasman National Park and arrive out the other side with a spectacular view of the Port Arthur Historic Site, Point Puer, Isle of the Dead and the Tasman golf course. A loop from a distance will ensure everyone gets a good picture of the amazing views.
