Return to the skies in magnificent fashion aboard our private plane. In a group of just 35, unearth the remote enclaves of our southern islands, where artisan food and wine producers of the moment take centre stage alongside some of our favourite residences. Covering this much ground in a week wouldn’t be possible any other way.

Accommodation

MACq 01, Hobart
This is without a doubt Hobart’s trendiest address. Set on the waterfront in a former shipping shed, expansive glass walls open to a wooden deck, extravagant breakfasts featuring oysters and Huon Valley lamb, and slick rooms that include nods to Tasmania’s history.

Our first foray aboard our privately chartered, business class plane showcases one of the many benefits of private air travel – the ability to create our own route. On our way from Sydney to Hobart, we detour to Flinders Island for the day to explore the wild and rugged landscapes. In Hobart, the impressive MACq 01 hotel is our base for the next three nights. We’re welcomed with drinks and canapes prior to dinner in the hotel’s Old Wharf Restaurant.
Hobart
You might choose to explore Hobart independently today, or join us on an adventure to nearby Bruny Island, where you can select one of two experiences. Choose the gourmet tour to sip and savour the island’s renowned produce straight from the source. There’s oozing cheese, freshly shucked oysters, fudge and golden honey, washed down with wine, beer or cider. Then, a short stroll to balance things out. Alternatively, cruise alongside some of Australia's highest sea cliffs and beneath towering crags while looking for seals, whales, dolphins and birds.
Hobart
Enjoy a free morning in the city, or a historic walking tour. Spend the afternoon at MONA. The creator designed his ultramodern art museum to be approached by water, and the ‘Posh Pit’ experience on the dedicated ferry is the only way to go. After free-flowing drinks and canapes, we step ashore for lunch at the museum’s acclaimed restaurant, The Source, before descending into the underground art bunker.
King Island
Spend the morning meandering the stalls at Salamanca Market before a late morning flight to King Island. After take off, we watch the lush green of Tasmania disappear from view. It won’t be long before we make our descent to King Island. We check in to our island retreats for the night, Boomerang by the Sea or King Island Hotel, then set forth on our hunt for the island’s famous cheese and beef. After tasting the delights of King Island, head north to the southern hemisphere’s tallest lighthouse at Cape Wickham, followed by a picnic of local produce overlooking the ripples of Penny’s Lagoon.
Kangaroo Island
From one splendid island to the next. It’s back aboard our private plane for the short flight to Kangaroo Island. While the west coast of the island was devastated by the bushfires of January 2020, the east remains untouched – our visit will help a local community and a tourism industry much in need of support. We head straight to Dudley Winery for a tasting and a cheeseboard for lunch, followed by a walk around Cape Willoughby Lighthouse. Then it’s back to our residences for a relaxed evening.
Kangaroo Island
We spend the morning exploring the natural charms located within Flinders Chase National Park, including the Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. Continue to Seal Bay, where visitors are able to get close to a wild colony of around 1,000 rare Australian sea lions, then meet members of the South Australian Country Fire Service to hear about the impact of the bushfires that ripped through 45 per cent of the island. We reconvene at our hotel’s restaurant tonight for our last dinner as a group.
Mildura, Sydney
There’s time for one more stop before our journey’s end. Our private plane lands in Mildura and we travel to Trentham Estate winery aboard a charming paddle steamer. Watch the bush scenery of the Murray River unravel before lunch, wine tastings and a few final reflections with our new-found friends. It’s then back aboard our private plane for the flight to Sydney. We say goodbye, feeling refreshed and looking forward to the next adventure.
