Offering a tour of attractions that are unique to Auckland that deliver maximum satisfaction if you have a short amount of time. For a different view of Southern Hemisphere life, the tour begins at Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World.

Check out real snow and ice, and see the cute King and Gentoo penguins on your snow cat ride through the Antarctic Encounter. In the Underwater World come face-to-face with giant stingrays, moray eels, schools of fish and ferocious sharks!

You will then be taken on an exclusive Native New Zealand Encounter Show at Auckland Zoo. Never offered before, this encounter will showcase New Zealand’s native species. Experience a close encounter with the silent flight of the Morepork (owl), a tame kiwi scavenging for food, the Kereru (wood pigeon) swallowing large native fruit, and the cold clammy stare of our living dinosaur – the Tuatara.

There’s no escaping the lure of the ocean. The next stop is Auckland’s famous Waitemata Harbour. Enjoy a cruise aboard a Pride of Auckland Yacht, going where the wind and tide conditions suggest. Sit back, relax and take in the sights, listen to informative commentary or try your hand at sailing. You will be treated to complimentary tea or coffee and homemade muffins, freshly baked.

Finish your Auckland experience at the top of the Sky Tower, the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere at 328 metres (1000ft), is built to take you to an all time high. Stand on the glass floor panels and see Auckland at your feet – if you dare! Sky Tower has glass-fronted lifts, touch screen computers, audio guides and an outdoor observation deck.
