Located just off the Mount Maunganui Main Beach, Moturiki (Leisure Island) is a tiny island with walkways that lead to various spots for great views of the Pacific Ocean and outlying islands.

The walking track to the blowhole takes 10 minutes, and the rocks near the blowhole are great spots for picnics or just watching the surfers, swimmers and other Main Beach action throughout the year
