A day discovering New Zealand's largest city with an Auckland coach tour. Your tour takes in Queen Street, Auckland's 'Golden Mile', stunning views of the harbour and yacht marina from the Auckland Harbour Bridge and to the summit of Mount Eden, the city's most prominent volcanic cone with its 360 views of the city.
Next stop is Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World. Plunge under Auckland's waterfront and you'll discover spectacular secrets of the Southern Ocean and see the magic of an Antarctic fantasyland, complete with Penguins strutting in fresh snow and ice! Head for the Antarctic Encounter, where you'll be taken back in time to the life-sized replica hut of intrepid South Pole explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott.
Come out of the hut and into an Antarctic snowcat, where you're transported to a magical world of snow and ice. Frolicking in the white wilderness is a colony of sub-Antarctic Penguins. From your snowcat, you'll get a fantastic fish eye view of the birds as they swim underwater. After your Antarctic Encounter; head to the Amazon tank to view the deadly Piranha. Now step onto the moving walkway in the Underwater World, you'll come face-to-face with a Broadnosed Sevengill Shark, proudly displaying some of the most powerful jaws on the planet.
After visiting Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World you will be left to enjoy a luncheon cruise on a Pride of Auckland yacht - sit back, relax or try your hand at sailing the peaceful waters of Auckland's inner Waitemata harbour.
