Offering a memorable holiday experience, Kelly Tarlton’s Underwater World provides visitors with a unique view of some of the world’s most fascinating marine life. Launched in 1985, this popular family attraction was the vision of Kiwi adventurer and diver Kelly Tarlton. Sections one can visit here include Antarctic Encounter home to Gentoo and King Penguins, Underwater World where one can view giant stingrays and sharks and Seahorse Kingdom starring a Spiny Sea Dragon, presently the only one on public display in the world. For the truly daring there is the Animal Adventures with its Shark Cage and Shark Survival experience, featuring mostly misunderstood predators of the deep!
