Motueka

Motueka, a town on the south island of New Zealand, packs quite a punch when it comes to fun activities and sightseeing. Between canyoneering in the Abel Tasman Canyons, kayaking in the ocean, skydiving over the coast, or even flying your own stunt plane, you're bound to get the adrenaline going somehow. For those who prefer a little more laid-back of a vacation, there's always equestrian tours, farmers markets, and hours of sunlight for relaxing on the beach. You'll never go hungry in Motueka with its assortment of interesting places to eat, including a converted church in the middle of town. Motueka has a lively artist community, so the local galleries are a must-see on a visit to this vibrant town.
