By Plane

For quick access to the most isolated areas of the state, plane travel is a simple, though possibly expensive, option. Regular flights travel to and from King Island and Flinders Island, departing from Launceston Devonport, provided by two local companies - Tasair and Par Avion.

The same two companies, Par Avion and Tasair, operate charter flights to the South-West from outside Hobart. These can be scenic flights, day trips, or one-way trips that let you start your hike from inside the World Heritage Area and walk out to civilisation. The cost of a flight to the South West is $A 132 per person. The charter flights will also deposit a food for you at Melaleuca at $2.20 a kilo.
