Today we bought a SuperPass for each of us - tickets to 4 main attractions in Auckland: Kelly Tarleton's Underwater Adventure, Sky Tower, Rainbow's End Theme Park and a trip to Rangitoto Island (Auckland's youngest volcano at 600 years old). We have 4 weeks to visit each of the attractions sotoday we decided to start with the Underwater Adventure.
We arrived just in time to watch the stingrays being fed. Pretty cool! We saw the oldest stingray called Phoebe feeding from the hand of the man who was in the tank with them. He said they have no teeth so can't bite him but from time to time they did try and swallow his hand.
Joe has been a bit spooked about going in the sea since he saw a stingray at Sandy Bay but hopefully after today and listening to all the information about the stingrays he'll be more at ease in the shallows. As part of the deal we also went on the snowcat ride which took us round the penguin enclosure which was very impressive. There's also a travelator which takes you round a perspex tunnel in the main fish tank. Millie had to stand on a box to see properly but we all managed to spot the turtles, sharks, lion fish and the eels.After Kelly Tarleton's we went off to Mission Bay for a picnic lunch, playing rugby on the grass, throwing a frisbee around, having a paddle in the sea and a general chilled Sunday afternoon.
