Best Places to Visit in Australia During Summer – Private Charter Edition

Summer in Australia is a season of long days, golden light, and landscapes at their most vibrant. From Tasmania’s wild coastlines to the turquoise bays of Esperance and the dramatic cliffs of the Twelve Apostles, the country offers endless ways to explore. The challenge is that Australia’s best destinations are scattered across vast distances, often requiring long drives or crowded flights. That is where private air travel transforms the experience. With Crooked Compass by Air, your summer escape becomes seamless, flying directly between world-class lodges, pristine beaches, and exclusive wildlife encounters. Instead of losing time in transit, you gain rare moments in places few travellers ever reach.

Why Plan Your Summer Escape Now

For most travelers, summer planning begins when the days start to warm. But if your idea of summer is less about crowded airports and more about rare, world-class experiences, the best time to plan is now.

Australia’s most sought-after lodges, private villas, and seasonal wildlife encounters book out months in advance. And when you choose  Crooked Compass by Air, you skip the queues, delays, and transfers altogether; stepping straight into an aircraft that takes you from take-off to touch-down, seamlessly.

This year, your summer story doesn’t need to begin with beach towels and crowded terminals. It can begin with a private plane and unfold across Australia’s most extraordinary landscapes.

Here are the destinations that shine brightest in summer and how private air makes them yours.

Wineglass Bay Tasmania Adventure by Air

Tasmania – Wild Beauty in Summer Light

Summer in Tasmania brings long golden days and crisp coastal air, making it the perfect balance of nature and indulgence.

Spend a morning walking the white sands of Wineglass Bay, pause for sparkling wine at Clover Hill, and retreat to The Keep, a secluded stay perched above wilderness views. Discover the fiery granite of the Bay of Fires, or fly to Flinders Island, where green hills meet empty beaches.

And with our Tempting Tasmania Journey, these landscapes are yours to move between swiftly and in style.

Snorkelling Baird Bay SA Adventure by Air

Eyre Peninsula – Ocean Wildlife and Fresh Flavours

On South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, the coast comes alive in summer.

Swim with playful sea lions in Baird Bay, then dine on the freshest seafood; from oysters to sashimi, paired with crisp local wine. Retreat to a private villa, where the horizon is yours alone.

Landing at Streaky Bay’s private airstrip with Crooked Compass by Air ensures your time is spent immersed in the region, not navigating it.

Lucky Bay, Cape Le Grand National Park Adventure by Air

Esperance – White Sand and Kangaroos at the Beach

In Western Australia’s Esperance, summer means bright skies and beaches that look almost unreal.

Walk the pristine sands of Lucky Bay, where kangaroos laze by the water, or kayak through turquoise seas in Cape Le Grand National Park. A private charter ensures you arrive before the crowds and gives you freedom to explore hidden bays and pair Esperance with other West Australian gems.

Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road Adventure by Air

The Twelve Apostles – Victoria’s Summer Icon

The limestone stacks of the Twelve Apostles glow golden in summer light, drawing travelers along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road.

A private flight lets you skip the winding drive and pair this stop with boutique coastal towns or winery visits in a single day giving you a perspective that feels as dramatic from the air as it does from the clifftops.

Great Barrier Reef Adventure by Air

Australia in One Journey: The Multi-Region Flight Path

Why choose one when you can traverse them all?

Picture sunrise over the Outback, mid-afternoon on a remote island reef, and sunset in a coastal vineyard; all within days. With our Multi-Region Journeys, Australia’s vastness becomes your personal playground, connected by seamless private air.

Phillip Island Adventure by Air
