My daughter 8 years old and I had such a great day trip to Rangitoto Island. We took a bus from home to the Ferry Pier 13, it was such a good weather, we packed healthy snacks, lunch and water. We walked up to the summit and visit a lava cave. We took a ferry at 2.30pm and bus home! Will definitely return.

It was a lot of fun because it was the first time I went fishing with my son on a boat. I highly recommend doing this type of fishing.

Bought for kids - they had a fabulous time. Thank you

It was my first time to try the Stand up paddle and it was a cool one! Struggled to get my balance at first but finally got on my feet and paddled on. The instructor was nice and friendly too!

Getting the sky tower entry is a nice bonus. 48hrs cover the whole city. Just wish the last bus is at 6pm rather than 4pm. On my trip to Auckland unfortunately I could Only use bookme once as the deals would be on the other day.

My mate and I took our kids aged 9 & 16 and this was the perfect "different" activity to do which suited all of us equally as we all had a good time!! Was worried an hour wouldn't be long enough but turned out one hour was Jussst Right. The guy who sorted us out was friendly and pleasant. We totally recommend as a great lower budget activity and WILL do again 🙃😉

We brought 4 kids in... Ben took great care of us. We feel very welcome and happy with everything. Couldn’t ask for a better guy really. Ben is top notch! Will spread the words and come back for more. Thanks

Mitch was friendly and explained everything properly.. worth the money and time.

It was amazing kayaking at Mission Bay, It was seamless from when we arrive at Mission Bay water sport till when we finished ans return the kayak. It was a beautiful day and it couldn't have been better.

a huge thank you to Nick and Ben from Mission Bay Watersports. They were friendly, accommodating and super fun people to have in a super fun environment. Ben your instruction was precise and thorough and easily understood. Your enthusiasm wiped out the nerves some of my group had. Nick when I phoned ahead for more info you gave me weather info and explained the best times to come - your advice saw us go to other attractions first which proved prudent as they would have been less fun to do soaking wet! A top team and service with a genuine smile?

Family fun...friendly staff

I made a reservation for paddling boat. It was the first time to try so it was quite hard and managers of Watersports let me take other one if I want. I liked this way so much!So I took kayak and I enjoyed so well! And they explained well how I can ride it and what I need to keep in mind for safety. It was great time in Auckland :) Moreoever shower facility is really close. If you want barbecue also, you can find nearby. It's worth to try it!

We had a enjoyable morning Kayak at a great location. Easy parking and the staff were very friendly. The double Kayak has room for a child as well. So families of three can paddle together.

Great service, the instructions were thorough and service was good. We had fun with the kids. They got a paddle this time, which they enjoyed helping.

During this time it was such a great morning to go paddle boarding . We might not of stood up but we definitely had fun.

Enjoyable! I'll do it again

Great fun, and highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 1hr double kayaking experience, there is easy access to the beach and safety instructions were clear. Kayak and oars were in very good condition too. Thank you!

Enjoyed it a and staff is really friendly.

Great experience plus wonderful Seaview.

Good way to see Auckland. Driver very informative and friendly

Easy and convenient!

I took my 18mth old for the first time and he had the best time! We will definitely be visiting more often

My family visited us from India and they just loved kelly tarltons. From cute penguins to giant shark and sting rays, everything was adorable.

Excelente experiencia , recomendado para ir con niños pequeños 😃

It’s good for a small country like New Zealand. If you’ve been to Singapore, USA etc and other countries with aquariums it’s going to look very small. There were people there not wearing masks and coughing close to my baby during red level when Omicron is in the community so it’s not recommended during this time as it’s in a small enclosed space. My baby enjoyed it.

It was nice to visit again. Some areas may need an upgrade but overall a great day with the kiddies

We had a wow of a time with the interaction with all the displays. My family was treated famously by the friendly staff who were so informative. Nice family time for all ages

What a great afternoon we spent with skipper Alex and crew Elliot, Jordan and Holly. We helped raise and lower the sails and we all got a chance to rake the helm, whilst racing around the bay. Alex told as lots about the boat and sailing tips too. This was an experience I will never forget!

Fascinating King penguins.

Informative friendly team and both journeys on time.

Best experience!

Happy staff & thank you Jenna for showing us the star fish and letting my daughter touch one. The turtles are so cute ❤️

Haven’t been for 14 years but can safely say nothing has changed. Fun and interesting as always and great for the family. If you haven’t been in a number of years don’t expect any change. Place does need a bit of an upgrade.

Easy going and very entertaining for kids

Kelly Tarltons is awesome. The penguin exhibit at the start is gorgeous (they seemed very attracted to my daughter’s penguin hat) and we had a great day. The only sad part was that they weren’t enforcing their mask rules. There were lots of signs around and announcements regarding wearing masks when not eating or drinking, but at least 30-40% of people weren’t wearing them.

Excellent

Enjoyed watching my 6yo daughter’s face light up with excitement seeing everything for her first time! The booked times made the whole experience more pleasant i.e not so packed, could easily move around, seating available to have a rest, enjoy the exhibits & not feel rushed. Having a voucher made it all more wonderful. Overall it was an awesome adventure had by all!

It was amazing experience me and my son we loved it my son had so much fun highly recommend

Great experience. Haven’t been here since I was in primary school. It’s upgraded. Don’t rush thru. Take in what’s on display & all the different sea life.

Exhibits were logical and some great artwork and information boards Diversity of exhibits has improved. Lots of things to support for struggling species. Penguin group looked great with 2 babies in exhibit. Lots to read, look at and interact with. Staff when on the floor seem disinterested and not friendly but keeping the facility clean with their rubbish sweepers.
