Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter & Encounter.
It used to be the city's sewage storage tanks. Now it's an ocean tunnel populated with marine life - sharks, stingrays, and all types of fishes.
Established by renowned diver and treasure hunter Kelly Tarlton, the ocean tunnel has become a popular tourist stop. Once you enter the tunnel, a conveyer belt transports you along the length of the tunnel. Giant perspex glass separates you from the sea and it's creatures.
And along with the aquariums, there is also an Antarctic Encounter section where you can ride the Snow Cart through a replica Antarctic, home to a colony of gentoo and King penguins.
Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter & Underworld Experience is located at 23 Tamaki Dri, Orakei.
Open 9 am - 6m
Admission: Adult/child $26/12
