The Motukawao Islands are the northernmost of several small groups of islands that lie in the Hauraki Gulf off the west coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. They lie some 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the southwest of Colville, and are uninhabited. The largest of the islands are Motuwi and Ngamotukaraka Islands; others include Moturua and Motukaramarama Islands.
Motukaramarama Island lies some 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) off the coast and is uninhabited. It has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it is a nesting site for about 3500 pairs of Australasian gannets.[1]
