Easy fun family day. We've done both the safari and dinosaur courses, personally I think the dinosaur was more enjoyable.
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.
I had the most amazing experience, I recommend this place to everyone. Food was 10 out of 10, as well as the service. All meals were delicious and beautifully served.
Th Restaurant was beautiful with nice atmosphere. We ordered several dishes from the entrée, main and desserts. They were all very tasty and good portions. My favourites were the chicken supreme and eton mess. The service staff very very friendly.
Although a bit quite place then usual restaurants. But the food was great and very big portions. We ordered Sea food Laksa and Mee goreng with chicken for Mains and Chicken karage for starters. Everything was yummy.
Bought this experience as a birthday present and it was perfect. Beautiful views, even on an overcast day. Pilot Cameron was great. I highly recommend it!
Thank you very much for contributing to our engagement.
Informative, interesting good value
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thank you so much!
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!
Wow! That was an adventure! The guides were really cool and competent and we all made it to the top of the volcano and back. :) Unfortunately we arrived a little late at Rangitoto so we hurried up to the summit (to see the sunset) and couldn't really enjoy the environment and didn't get to know anything about it from our guide. But the view and the sunset were amazing! My absolute highlight was our kayak tour back underneath the stars and in black water with fluorescent plankton. That was magical!!
Great customer service Fantastic staff And the sizzler platter was awesome
The America's Cup Sailing Experience is highly recommended. Very cruisy to get to taste a bit of the race and enjoy the harbour. The crew is super experienced and friendly. The boat is super safe and calm! Thank you!
The food is always tasty and satisfying. Really enjoy the seafood soup and the lunch plate. Warm service as well..
My first time to this charming little restaurant tucked along Nuffield Street. Decided to check it out at 130pm on a Sunday afternoon. So glad to have found it on Book Me. Loved the Paella and the Lunch Plate. It was generous with ingredients and hearty, exploding with great flavours. Loved the lunch plate dips and bread and the fried Halloumi. Sangria was so good too not watered down and satisfying. Will most definitely go back.
Egg toast sandwich was delicious
Great food and even better service!! Nice dinner date spot in New Market.
Love the ambiance of the restaurant with spanish touch. The food is really tasty , the highlight of the dish for me is un dos tres with eggplant dip , greek yogurt and harissa dip...the grilled tomato break which is great compliment with spanish meat ball ..i will return for this dish
Great day with the kids
🥰 loved it, great staff, need some updates on equipment but it didn’t really think it effect the fun we had. Thanks so much
Had an amazing time. The crew and the service was top class. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!
The team were very friendly and helpful. It was a nice day out and we saw lots of dolphins but no whales. The crew decided it wasn’t enough ans that we deserved a return voucher so we can come back again anytime. It was a bumpy ride so make sure you bring some weatherproof clothing.
My family visited us from India and they just loved kelly tarltons. From cute penguins to giant shark and sting rays, everything was adorable.
Fascinating King penguins.
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
Very educational and many interactive activities for all ages. Very friendly staff! Awesome work Kelly Tarltons!
Happy staff & thank you Jenna for showing us the star fish and letting my daughter touch one. The turtles are so cute ❤️
Staff friendly and helpful especially the cashier that was serving us I wished I get her name because she was awsum when I was struggling to get my online booking references she was professional as ahe knew I was panicking I was in awe of her kindness, patient and helpful excellent customer service 10 stars for her please pass on my apprection as I didn’t get her name. My family from Samoa was amazed at the attractions the benquins and all the attractions was just too beautiful. I would visit again 😍😍
It's important now more than ever to support these businesses and the good work they do. We had a great time there and because it was quiet when. We arrived it felt nice and I got some great pics. Laurie was in training for the tank talk and she did very well. It was fun and engaging.
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.
Really cool place to see sea life up close. Coloring in and playground for the kids awesome
It was amazing experience me and my son we loved it my son had so much fun highly recommend
Negatives : the travelator tanks were very dark and gloomy. No coloured fish, coral or coloured ornaments/props, just Grey fish and dark tanks. The penguins really need a larger enclosure. We stood by a window which had a few next to it and they looked very sad - reminded me of the happy feet movie. We also noticed a beautiful turtle non stop hitting the edge of the tank, maybe hoping there would be an exit. :-( The octopus REALLY needs a friend. He's so tiny and alone :-( Positives: The staff were Very FRIENDLY, especially as we took our severely Autistic nephew with us. They were understanding when he would be loud or brushed past people. The divers in the travelator tanks - thank you for taking the time to stop cleaning and wave to the kids! It was a highlight for my 5yr old. Great to see all the animals healthy and well looked after. All in all, it's a great cost effective place to spend a day with family, especially learning about our sea life. All Though i personally do not agree with animals in captivity, you can clearly see these animals are well looked after and cared for. Hopefully the next upgrade will be a big loop around tank, so the penguins and turtles can swim/play more freely, rather than being met by walls.
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!
Excellent
