    Kelly Tarltons Underwater World: Kelly Tarltons
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • This is a lovely place if you like fish and Penguins. I love penguins and they have a Penguin home where they have trams going around it and you can see the penguins really close.

    This is great if you want to get out of the sun.

    Things To Do: Vertigo Climb
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • This is a must. I was very unsure of this and very nervous but the staff are fantasic. If you tell them you are scared they will looked after you and ensure you are 100% happy.

    Before you leave you are given a safety talk and given protective clothing. This is just to protect your clothes and the wether when you get to the top - it is very windy up the top

    The trip involes alot of climbing. You are not allowed to wear rings as they may hurt your hands as your climb up the stairs.

    The views are amazing. You are not allowed a camera but they do take pictures of you climbing and when you reach the top. Doesn't cost too much to buy the pictures.

    YOU MUST DO THIS!!

  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • You must visit the Sky Tower. Loads of other things in the tower to keep you busy.

    You can get a nice view of Auckland from the tower and watch the mad people buggy jumping from the tower.

    There's also restaurant/Bars a Casino and a Hotel. We spent some time in the tourist information center in the Tower. Very well stocked and friendly staff

    Things To Do: Boat ride on the River
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • There's plenty of firms offering little trips out to the bridge which only take about 20 mins. For some reason when we went on the trip no one was interested and we had the whole boat to ourselves.

    You can also Sail on the River aswell, We didn't have time in our schedule which was a shame.
