KELLY TARLTONS SEALIFE AQUARIUM , AUCKLAND So, whilst looking on GrabOne we found a voucher for Kelly Tarltons Sealife Centre Penguin Discovery. We had seen the shark cage experience in the hostel but there was nothing about this penguin o...ne. Being great fans of the penguins work, on offer at $159 we thought we would give it a go. Normally $200 (buy online is $159) so not the cheapest of activities but with admission to the aquarium, free shuttle return, b...

AWOL CANYONING, PIHA WEST COAST AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALANDAs part of our many activities booked to push the boundaries of gravity we decided to go canyoning just outside Auckland. You can have full day or half day experiences doing this we opted for the full day costing $195, as we booked this with other stuff we got it at a cheaper rate.

We... stopped at a hostel called Hekerua lodge...

GrabOne is an actual app to all you smart phoners! These sites offer up to 60% off some activities so always check them out before booking anything and missing out as these offers are normally for a limited time
