Kelly Tarlton´s Antarctic Encounter & Underwater World


Antarctic - the world´s last unexplored frontier.

Discover Scott´s Hut 1911 - a copy of the original hut at Cape Evans, Antartica, built and used by Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his team before their fateful attempt to be the first to reach the South Pole.


Then board the heated Snow Cats and take a journey across the frozen landscape of Antartica. See Colonies of live penguins in real snow and ice.

Plunge beneath the ice cap and watch them swimming in their own pool.

Travel on a moving walkway deep under the ocean, through Kelly Tarlton´s unique 110 metre long see-through underwater tunnel. Come face to face with the awesome predators of the deep, the sharks only millimetres away on the other side of the plexiglass tunnel.

See giant eels. stingrays, giant crayfish and over 1,500 marine creatures unique to New Zealand´s coastal waters.
The sea anenome. Beautiful to look at, but deadly to small fish.
