Nelson Tasman is more than just great cuisine and sunshine though, it’s increasingly becoming known as an adventure hub particularly for aviation activities. Leisure cycling, mountain biking, skydiving, canyoning, kayaking and fishing are all popular activities in the region.
The Great Taste Cycle Trail runs right through Tasman Bay Estates and is a fantastic trail for all fitness levels. The trail runs from Nelson to Kaiteriteri featuring breweries, wineries, cafes, shops and galleries along the way.
Meanwhile, Motueka is developing a reputation as an adventure aviation hub with unrivalled views for skydiving (including views of both islands), an AirNZ recognise aviation college and an innovative new company offering scenic flights and experiences by helicopter and plane.
