Fly South / Launch point

Motueka

Motueka is sunny, fruitful and perfectly placed for a South Island escape. Orchards and hop fields give the river flats a friendly, lived-in character, while coast and wilderness wait just beyond them. It is a town that makes choosing a direction feel like the nicest problem to have.

About Motueka

Known for some of the highest sunshine hours in the country, Motueka has long grown hops and apples in its river flats, and it's also a popular base for skydiving thanks to its reliable weather. In Fly South, this is a gentle launch point: head toward Abel Tasman for bright coastal water, or turn inland over orchards and river flats as the land rises toward the national parks beyond.
