Microlight Abel Tasman Scenic Flight

Come flying in our factory built, state-of-the-art microlights and the only place in New Zealand were you can experience the thrill of open air flight and in the Abel Tasman National Park. On the day of your microlight experience, you’ll be met by our experienced and friendly staff at the airfield, where you will be suited up in eager anticipation for your flight. These aircraft feature a hang gliding wing and weight shift operation and are very much like a traditional hang glider, but powered by a Rotax aircraft engine for optimum safety and reliability. Before long you’ll be ready for take off with your experienced microlight pilot! Your flight time will last from 35 - 40 minutes, depending on weather conditions on the day. Feel the rush of wind as you speed down the runway and rise effortlessly into the air. Fly high over Motueka township, see the fishing boats bobbing at anchor at the port as the sun sparkles on the water. Join the seabirds as we descend along the sand flats, and then climb high for the unforgettable vista of the Abel Tasman National Park as it stretches away into a hazy horizon and Farewell Spit. We gradually descend along the blue green inlets of Torrent Bay and the track the yellow sand beaches from the Anchorage to Marahau. Here we cut inland to fly over the Marahau saddle and then approach back to the airfield over the apple orchards of Riwaka.
