An aerial view of Motiti Island.

Motiti Island is located off the Bay of Plenty coast of New Zealand's North Island. It is 21 kilometres north-east of Tauranga and 9.4km north-east of Papamoa.

A relatively flat island covering some 10 km², it has a small population. The principal activity on the island is agriculture, with a developing avocado plantation.

Most residents and visitors travel to the island by air. Air Discovery is one of two current providers and the only one with a daily, scheduled operation for $40 per person.
