National Aquarium of New Zealand is located in Napier, where visitors can view a wide variety of marine life. Similar to the layout of typical aquariums, there is an underwater tunnel where divers regularly feed the marine life, and children and visitors can interact with the marine life through the glass in the arched glass tunnel. Not only are there fish, but penguins, which are loved by both adults and children, also live here. Even more surprisingly, despite being an aquarium, you can also see New Zealand's national treasure—the kiwi.Napier · 1 km from downtown

The area is not large and it is relatively new. There are different plants from all over the world. You can take a look on the way to the North Airport. There are many good places to view the sea in the garden. The whole journey takes about an hour.
