Mighty Murray & Coorong Scenic Flight

Leave the ordinary behind and take to the skies for a breathtaking 30-minute journey over the Murray River and Coorong. Departing from Strathalbyn (with an add-on option for departure from Hahndorf), this flight offers an unparalleled perspective of one of South Australia’s most captivating regions.   

Follow the winding Murray River as it carves through the landscape, leading you toward the Coorong, a stunning stretch of wetlands, sand dunes, and saltwater lagoons teeming with wildlife. Fly over Lake Albert and the Narrung Narrows, where the river meets the coast, creating a striking contrast between freshwater and ocean.   

As you trace the western shore of Lake Alexandrina, take in panoramic views of the historic townships and vast open waters before heading southeast, where the untouched beauty of the Coorong National Park unfolds. From the tranquil lagoons to the rugged coastline of the Younghusband Peninsula, this flight offers a rare glimpse into this remote and protected sanctuary.
