Penguins in their element at Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter & Underwater World

Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter & Underwater World

Daily
Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter & Underwater World, Auckland

Underwater adventures are all the rage at the moment, particularly in more tropical climes, but Kelly Tarlton's in Auckland (named after the late diver) really does win the prize. Both a mega aquarium and an "Antarctic encounter", this really is a wildlife spectacular. Great fun for all the family.


Auckland, Viaduct Harbour with the Sky Tower beyond, from Devonport

The Viaduct

Daily
The Viaduct, Auckland

The Viaduct is Auckland's prettiest harbour, filled with the most glamorous and lavish of yachts and sail boats, particuarly when New Zealand is in possession of its adored America's Cup, which tragically slipped out of its hands in 2003. Visit to admire state-of-the-art boats and the luxury restaurants that appeared to mark the advent of sporting glory with the first cup victory in 1995.


Auckland War Memorial Museum

Auckland War Memorial Museum

Daily
Auckland War Memorial Museum, Auckland

Rather more than a war memorial, this grand neo-classical museum, looking out on to the sweeping lawns of The Domain (Auckland's main park) makes a great introduction to Maori culture, New Zealand's natural environment and the New Zealand people in general. Indeed it is often simply called Auckland Museum, and offers comprehensive, often interactive displays and a vigorous programme of visiting exhibitions.
