SEA LIFE Kelly Tarlton's

Fodor's Choice

The harborside marine park—the creation of New Zealand's most celebrated undersea explorer and treasure hunter—offers a fish's-eye view of the sea. A transparent tunnel, 120 yards long, makes a bewitching circuit past moray eels, lobsters, sharks, and stingrays. You can also have an encounter with king and gentoo penguins and their keepers in their icy abode, and take home photos to prove it.  The penguin attraction is popular and limited to four people per session, so book ahead.
