Tempting Tasmania

This morning, you will be met at your Launceston hotel and transferred to your helicopter for your flight to Cloverhill Winery. If you’re a lover of fine wine and champagne, then this experience is your ultimate day out. Enjoy the incredible views in your private scenic helicopter transfer taking in wine country, hillsides, valleys and forestry’s among rural Tasmania. Meet the winemaker and enjoy a private tour and wine tasting.

From here, fly directly to one of Tasmania’s beautiful east coast Oyster farms for an experience you will never forget. Visit a working oyster farm, chat to the oyster farmer and sit on the water’s edge and eat oysters straight from the sea. After your incredible oyster experience, jump back into your helicopter and transfer to your accommodation for the evening, your own secluded, romantic destination at The Keep, for some truly unique solitude surrounded by nature in the Tasmanian wilderness. Experience understated luxury and relaxation.

The Keep has been luxuriously appointed, featuring only the best in Tasmanian design and furnishings while capturing the unique nature of the surrounding wilderness. The accommodation has been designed for the utmost privacy while taking in the magnificent 360 degree views to the eastern and northern coastlines, with the Bass Straight Islands visible on clear days.

Perched upon a 650 metre rocky pinnacle overlooking Tasmania’s North-East The Keep has been designed for reconnection, relaxation and rejuvenation. Indulge yourself in a long hot outdoor bath or in reading, wandering and lazing the days away.

This morning you will be collected by your private helicopter bound for the Bay of Fires. See the vibrancy of the Bay of Fires from the air, spot whales and other wildlife from the sky. Make your way to the middle of the Bay of Fires, (named for the fact that British navigators saw fires along the Tasmanian coastline as they sailed past in the 1770’s. These fires were campfires of the local Palawa people, who had called Tasmania home for tens of thousands of years).

Enjoy a brunch experience prepared by Chef Thomas Dicket, a renowned Tasmanian chef. Take a stroll along the sweep of powder-white sand and crystal-clear seas before returning to your helicopter and flying to Swan Island.

Your incredible experience on this beautiful private island will allow you take in nature whilst sipping on sparkling wine and nibbling on the best local produce amongst convict ruins. The views sweep out to sea, and the backdrop is simply stunning. Explore on foot, take a stroll along the white sand beach or wander through the historical ruins. There is also time for you to have a swim and snorkel in the clear waters and surrounding reefs. You will then be transferred by private helicopter back to The Keep.
