Moturiki Island—sometimes erroneously called "Leisure Island", which was the trading name of a now defunct business that used to operate on the island—, is located just off Mount Maunganui beach. The island is connected to the beach by a man made land bridge.[1] NIWA maintains a tide meter on Moturiki Island.[2] Moturiki Island offers walking, bird watching, fishing and rock climbing opportunities.[3]

For the island belonging to Fiji, see Moturiki.

On Moturiki Island in 1966, Marineland Limited built an aquarium called Marineland, but the aquarium was closed in May 1981. Later in 1981, Marineland was reconstructed into Leisure Island,[4] a water park with swimming pools, bumper boats and hydro slide, which operated until 1990 when it was removed from the island.[5]
