Long Lunches

A journey overview

Imagine boarding your private aircraft, skipping the long drives and airport chaos, and soaring straight to a handpicked location where an unforgettable dining experience awaits. Whether it’s a world-class winery, a luxury superyacht, a remote outback station, or a secluded island, your day is curated for indulgence, adventure, and pure escapism.

Long Lunch Mt Mulligan Lodge, Queensland, Adventure by Air

Touch down in a hidden wine region where vines stretch as far as the eye can see, and sip on boutique vintages paired with farm-to-table cuisine, enjoyed under the shade of century-old trees. Meet the winemakers, learn their craft, and toast with methodé traditionnelle sparkling as you shuck oysters fresh from the sea. Or, swap rolling hills for the rugged outback—where an exclusive station experience awaits. Traverse vast plains in safari-style vehicles, learning about the land before dining in an atmospheric shearing shed, its timber beams strung with soft lanterns. Here, paddock-to-plate takes on new meaning as you indulge in locally sourced lamb, fresh produce, and handcrafted desserts infused with native ingredients.

Long lunch Adventure by Air

For those who crave a more glamorous affair, step aboard a luxury superyacht and cruise to one of Australia’s most breathtaking coastlines. Whitehaven Beach’s powder-white sands and impossibly blue waters set the scene for a long table feast of fresh seafood, fine wines, and an endless flow of champagne. Swim, snorkel, or simply bask in the sun before returning to your private plane in true rockstar style.

Or, if the outback is calling, take your long lunch to the red centre for an experience like no other—champagne toasts at sunset with Uluṟu glowing in the distance, followed by a candlelit dinner under a sky ablaze with stars.

TESTIMONIALS

Remote Hiking in the Kimberley

"Heli-hiking in the Kimberley was one of the most exhilarating adventures we’ve ever had! Being flown in and dropped into some of the country’s most remote trails, completely off the beaten track, was nothing short of extraordinary. The landscapes were raw, untouched, and absolutely stunning. Crooked Compass by Air delivered an unforgettable experience, perfectly blending adventure, luxury, and isolation in the best possible way."

Surprise 60th

"Crooked Compass by Air helped us pull off the ultimate 60th birthday surprise! We whisked our family away on a private flight to Port Macquarie for a long, leisurely lunch by the water. Everything was seamless, from takeoff to landing, and the experience of arriving in style made the day even more special. The personalised service and attention to detail were outstanding—truly an unforgettable way to celebrate!"

X Marks the Spot!

"Our corporate trip to the Eyre Peninsula was next level! Being choppered into a remote beach, handed GPS coordinates, and digging up an esky filled with Coffin Bay oysters and champagne was an experience like no other. It was the perfect mix of adventure, teamwork, and luxury—our team is still talking about it! Crooked Compass by Air created something truly unique, and we can’t wait to do it again."

Ultimate Boys Trip

"Flying in our own private plane to the Birdsville Races was the best decision we made! Not only did we skip the long drive, but we also squeezed in an epic fishing stop in Northern NSW because we could. Crooked Compass by Air took care of everything, and the entire experience felt effortless. Camping under the wing of our aircraft amongst the hundreds of other private aircraft was simply incredible! From great company to seamless travel, it was a trip we’ll be reminiscing about for years to come!"

Journey of a Life-time!

"Exploring Western Australia from the air with our family was absolutely breathtaking. From swimming with whale sharks in Ningaloo to feeding dolphins at Monkey Mia, picnicking with kangaroos at Lucky Bay, and 4WDing on Dirk Hartog Island, every moment felt like something out of a dream. Crooked Compass by Air made the impossible feel easy, crafting a personalised itinerary that let us see WA in the most spectacular way, flying between locations on our own aircraft removing the wasted time of commercial airports and structured flight schedules. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience!"
