Rocky Cape National Park
Stunning views of the jagged quartz coastlines and turquoise waters shortly after takeoff.
The Nut at Stanley
The famous volcanic plug rising from the sea is visible in the distance as you head northwest.
Three Hummock Island
A remote nature reserve in the Hunter Group featuring pristine white beaches and granite peaks.
Hunter Island
The largest island in the group, offering views of wild, uninhabited terrain and bird colonies.
Grassy Harbour
As you descend into King Island, see the southern port and the rugged cliffs of the Grassy region.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see 'The Nut' at Stanley. Choose a morning flight for soft lighting on the coastal cliffs; afternoon flights can suffer from sun glare reflecting off the Bass Strait.

Table Cape
A massive volcanic plateau near Wynyard, famous for its lighthouse and seasonal tulip fields.
Wynyard Foreshore
Aerial perspective of the Inglis River meeting the sea right after departure.
Bass Strait
Expansive views of the deep blue water, occasionally spotting cargo ships or fishing vessels.
Naracoopa Coastline
The tranquil eastern side of King Island featuring long sandy beaches and the Sea Elephant River estuary.
The right side is prime for viewing Table Cape immediately after takeoff. It provides a more peaceful, oceanic view during the mid-flight segment and better views of the eastern King Island wetlands on approach.
