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
Mitch was friendly and explained everything properly.. worth the money and time.
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.
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.
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 🙃😉
Great experience plus wonderful Seaview.
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.
Family fun...friendly staff
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
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 fun, and highly recommended.
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?
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!
Bought for kids - they had a fabulous time. Thank you
Good way to see Auckland. Driver very informative and friendly
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.
Easy and convenient!
Great place to visit. We all loved seeing the fluffy penguin chicks. Friendly staff. The sharks and stingrays were cool to watch and all the beautiful tropical fish.
Easy going and very entertaining for kids
Excellent
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.
Happy staff & thank you Jenna for showing us the star fish and letting my daughter touch one. The turtles are so cute ❤️
Went there for school holidays. Kids love it! Will be back in a couple of years 😊
We had a great time here. Such a variety of sealife and the ability to be so close is an experience like no other We will definitely come back
The staff are very friendly and the aquarium itself is magnificent. It was a struggle looking for parking and I needed to park 500 metres away. There was also quite a crows on my visit.
Always fun to come back to the aquarium.
2yr old and 5 yr old really enjoyed their time at Sea Life. It was great to see their excitement at every exhibit
We loved it
Great experience! The kids loved it and worth going to see.
My kids loved it. We will be visiting again. ❤️
It was amazing experience me and my son we loved it my son had so much fun highly recommend
Highly recommend for those whom have toddlers/kids obsessed with Finding Nemo/Dory. Twas my husbands first time visiting Kelly Tarltons too and he enjoyed it. Theres a playground n cafe fairly close to the entrance so be sure to have a light breakfast so you can have a heavy lunch whilst the kids run off all their energy 🤣
First time visiting this place and it was the best experience ever, definitely recommend x
Was great to see how much Kelly Tarltons had changed and our some loved seeing the penguins and going round on the travellator looking at the sharks and stingrays- a bit expensive for a big family but a great day out and something different to do in Auckland
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.
A great morning, it was quiet and easy to remain socially distanced, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Kids absolutely love it. Highly recommend
