Ah, I noticed someone else mentioned the origin of the name ‘Leisure Island’. It was a water park with water slides and bumper boats in the 1980s, the park was called Leisure Island. The name stuck. It was removed in 1990. Prior to that it was ‘Marineland’ with dolphin shows etc which was built in 1964… and before that, a quarry back in 1911 used to build the railways… and back in the day, a Maori village or pā. Love the video guys!
You keep bringing memories to life for me. Loved this video as I spent a lot of time in Tauranga, visiting from Rotorua especially during summer. Loved seeing the Mount again; thru your eyes. Kiwi from Virginia
Kia ora Janice hope all is well, just an update on my nephew's in the NZ navy, there is no tour to Virginia they got redirected to our island neighbours of Tonga, helping out with their recovery, much love from aotearoa🥰

Hey guys!! Absolutely loved your video! I'm from Oklahoma (have you ever been there?) New Zealand is my favorite country and I've traveled all over it from Stewart Island to Cape Reinga, both coast of both islands. Favorite place of all is the Lake Waikaremoana Great Walk around Lake Waikaremoana on the North Island. You would love it! Anyway, the best part of your video was the mud flats! I had an experience exactly like that in Paihia at the Haumi River where it flows into the ocean. Got STUCK numerous times and the mud was so stinky and smelled like poo. It took a LOT of hard scrubbing to get it off of my hiking boots. Chloe was a trooper though!!
Hey John, I’m so glad you found our channel and I hope we’re bringing lots of good memories back from your time here in New Zealand. Sounds like you’ve discovered it from tip to toe as they stay here. 🤪😂 We’ve actually never been to Oklahoma before. I’ll let Chloe know about your experience so she has a good laugh and to let her know that she wasn’t the only one. 😂😂
It's called leasure island thier used to be a water based them park on it when I was younger. Most rocks you see on east coast beaches from Tauranga nth are volcanic referred to by geologists like me as igneous The mnt itself is a volcano
Ozone depletion, on some days that sun is sizzling 🥵 that's why we say Slip 👕 Slop 🧴 Slap 👒 and Wrap 🕶️, NZ are the highest in the world for melanoma, so take care in the sun 🌞 Whanau, I hope Chloe 😄 got her brand new runner's clean "might take a bit of elbow grease, with the amount of mud she collected 😂 and I love you went Op shopping, you scored some choice bargain's, have a great time at camp girl's and see you all in your next episode of adventure ✌🏽😁👍🏽
It’s so true. We’re always caught off guard with the sun here. You have to be so careful. The girls are excited to share their fun times they had at summer camp. 🙌
Aaaah, I went to Tauranga once and it was an evening trip and we went back on the same day. It was for a house poetry event. Met incredible people from there which was pretty cool. Anyway I remember though that the evening drive view of the place looked lovely. It was also cloudy but there was something special about the place. Your video just confirmed my assumption that it's absolutely beautiful. It's also giving Hamilton vibes. This is great content ❤️ love it.
Great watching this take on Tauranga and Mount Maunganui. The Mount itself, the one you climbed, is called Mauao. Mum's side of the family are from Welcome Bay and our marae is there. I spend a lot of time over there throughout the year because of this, and every time we will climb the mount at least once every visit even if its raining because you can always warm up in the hot pools at the base.
Hey guys glad Tauranga turned it up for yous, and yes been there many times for new years eve summer beach parties it would go off thousands of people from here and people from around the world would flock here to escape their winters, so yes this beach does rank, not sure about the green theme the home owners were looking 4😂😂chloe was hilarious, rugby boys would run in that mangrove mud as part of their training🤣🤣 hope all is well guys, much love🥰
Hi Whanau. Tauranga/The Mount are my home towns. ( Currently Live in Wellys ). The Mount isn't what it use to be 30+ years ago... It wasn't unusual on Friday and Saturday nights to see various size groups of people turn up for a bit of a drink and enjoying the music on the grass area and carparks...( Before the Liquor bans came into place up approx about 1km east along Marine Parade ) The cops were fine with it as long as everybody was behaving unless they got a complaint from residents ( which some were already down there enjoying themselves ) about loud music or people playing up. The Mount use to be a hotspot at New Years eve back in those days and you would get people from anywhere in NZ go to The Mount just to spend/ celebrate the incoming New Year . That's Summertime was so good back then . Oh Chloe .....where you and you mum were playing a game of " Stuck in the Mud " 😆.....we just call em an " Estuary " or water inlet . You all are fun to watch....The girls pronunciation was good enough , but here;s a little exercise.....Toe....rrrung...a
Hi Chantal. Another awesome family video. How are you finding NZ cities and towns, compared to other countries? Their facilities, general costs to do things, the food, the housing?
We use to play in the Estuary we're Chloe got stuck, As kids heaps of fun. Best to walk in it Barefoot, Plus the locals know there's yummy shellfish in it. Chloe your a cracking up. 😆
Haha I've never witnessed anyone trying to walk across the estuary in shoes. You've got to do it barefoot (havent you noticed shoes are optional here?) and be prepared for shell cuts, crabs and sludge up to your knees. And make sure you get back across before the channel fills up.
chloééééé i become a big fan of chloé je suis devenu un fan d'elle je vois une future star en elle un jour j'aurai son autographe!vous 3 êtes superbes aussi mais chloé est ma préférée
I laughed at Chloe stuck in the mud but was a little worried, I've seen people rescued by helicopter because they were stuck and the tide started coming in, they are more dangerous than they look.
Nice video and explained nicely. We went to the Summit of Mauao hiking this year and it was a wonderful experience. I have posted that video in my channel #Kiwitravelvlogs
Sorry Chloe, it's not your day. Heads up, learn as you grow up. Just say to yourself, do I feel lucky it wasn't a quicksand. Well, do you?(punk) lol. Sorry, clint eastwood say it better . Ka kite. Have a happy day.

It’s just amazing! There are so many different areas where you have views of the water.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders
Yeah, kind of like Big Sur, California. But also with a Norway vibe, because of greenery.
-cities night life are non-existence. You can hear a penny drop after 6.00pm!!!
WOW! Really stunning guys! 👌🥳 I got the giggles over all the MUD! 🤭😂🤣🤣
Hehe thanks!😁😂🤪
Hello beautiful and fun family hahaha l loved it when they left in the mud part Chloe got the worst part.😅😅😅
She's so easy going that it didn't upset her and we had a good laugh about it.

The two of you going through the marshes reminded me when I was young and getting stuck like that it's all fun yes happy memories.
It's called leasure island thier used to be a water based them park on it when I was younger. Most rocks you see on east coast beaches from Tauranga nth are volcanic referred to by geologists like me as igneous
The mnt itself is a volcano

Mount Maunganui is in Tauranga 🤣 so I don't know why you say Mount Maunganui and Tauranga it's one city
I live there

I can imagine it would be a good training ground for them. I can imagine Tauranga must be a great place for New Years!

Hi Whanau.

The Mount isn't what it use to be 30+ years ago...
It wasn't unusual on Friday and Saturday nights to see various size groups of people turn up for a bit of a drink

The cops were fine with it as long as everybody was behaving unless they got a complaint from residents ( which some were already down there enjoying themselves ) about loud music or people playing up.

The Mount just to spend/ celebrate the incoming New Year .

It's all tauranga now the mount is Part of tauranga
New Zealand got to do alot of walking 😁
Wow ...beautiful enjoy 🏄
Thank you!😁
Hi Chantal. Another awesome family video.
How are you finding NZ cities and towns, compared to other countries?
Their facilities, general costs to do things, the food, the housing?
I love yours videos guys thank you
Thank you!!✨☺️
We use to play in the Estuary we're Chloe got stuck, As kids heaps of fun. Best to walk in it Barefoot, Plus the locals know there's yummy shellfish in it. Chloe your a cracking up. 😆
Yep barefoot would probably be the best way to go. 😂😂Sounds like to have great memories from being there.
Well that's one way to break in some new shoes Chloe!
Yeah right!?!
If you at the mount you must go to the salt water hot pools at the base
Cool. Didn't go to Tauranga this summer as they and Rotorua had among the highest places of interest. Taupo is very good though.
Yes the whole area is just beautiful. You’ll see the next video from the girls at their summer camp in Taupo.
Hope u guys visit philippines and make a video on your travel! :D
We should. We visited there in 2015 before we had a RUclips channel. We were in Cebu last time and visited with a friend.

❤❤❤❤ Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This part of the country is super nice and so close to everything on the north island.
Haha I've never witnessed anyone trying to walk across the estuary in shoes. You've got to do it barefoot (havent you noticed shoes are optional here?) and be prepared for shell cuts, crabs and sludge up to your knees. And make sure you get back across before the channel fills up.
Nice to see you guys.... I m from Qatar....
That’s awesome! 🙌
When do u guys plan on going to Europe again?
We’ll be there in the summer months.
My name is Rey Uranga, I thought it would be a great place to visit
Tauranga is a really cool place to visit. I'm sure you'll love it!
lol walking across NZ mud flats Thats crazy I am a kiwi living in the US but knew when you started it would be a disaster
😂😂
Over in the distance is omokaroa I know because I’m from Tauranga
Oh nice!!🤩

Im sorry.i just found your channel..is your father is travelling with your family as well?
Yes he is but he prefers to stay behind cameras.
Cool
Glad you enjoyed it!
I laughed at Chloe stuck in the mud but was a little worried, I've seen people rescued by helicopter because they were stuck and the tide started coming in, they are more dangerous than they look.
Oh my. That’s crazy. I guess that could happen because you really get stuck in the mud like glue.
I actually been to a beach before
That’s great!
😍
I love your everlasting smille, chloe.
Can you guys visit the beach where Lorde shot her "Solar power" music video
Ooo cool! Maybe one day when we’re back in the area…

Hi Shaun! Just found it on google maps. We’ll be be back to Tauranga before heading out so we should have a chance to see it still.
Only reason I know is I stopped to take photos yesterday we were traveling from Mahia Peninsula, between Gisborne and Napier on the east coast e)

I have no idea yet how we will pull this one off. We will have to go when there’s a sporting event.
