XUANNER:“As a famous scenic spot, the Sky Tower is basically a must visit place! The restaurant is also worth a try, as there are different packages available at different times. It is more convenient to book in advance on the website”

Anonymous user:“The whole experience was great, and it's a great place to learn about New Zealand's history and culture. The museum is quite large and worth a good half-day visit. There are many interactive exhibits, especially suitable for taking children out. There are also Chinese services, which is recommended.”

Boat tour
Open today at 10:30-15:00
linmingxin:“We arrived at the meeting point at 7:30 and set off on time at 8:00. The boat can carry 100 people at full capacity, and there were more than 70 of us. After a 1-hour sail, we found dolphins and various seabirds, and then sailed into deeper waters to find Bryde's whales. On the way back, we also saw a little seal taking a nap. The whole experience was great, but it really depends on luck. Not every time you go out to sea, you can see whales. We returned to the dock at 1:30 pm and didn't feel seasick. The overall experience was great!”

丑小鸭123:“There is also a fish and chip shop next to it. The food variety is very rich. The lady at the cashier is very enthusiastic. Sitting at the door of the shop, blowing the sea breeze and looking at the sea, it is a relaxing Christmas season.”
