Day 7
After breakfast at your accommodation, transfer to the International Antarctic Centre.
Located across from Christchurch International Airport, the International Antarctic Centre brings to visitors a powerful, exciting and interactive experience of Antarctica.
We are open every day of the year, including Christmas Day 9.00am – 5.30pm
Includes: Indoor Attraction, NZ Penguin Encounter, 4D Show & one Hagglund Ride.
The New Zealand Penguin Encounter is New Zealand’s first combined indoor/outdoor penguin viewing area with capacity to hold up to 26 Little Blue penguins.
With its centre piece being a penguin life support area and 80,000 litre pool, the Encounter allows visitors to view Little Blue penguins in a Banks Peninsula natural-themed environment that can be accessed on two levels. The penguins held here are birds that have been rescued and cared for, some since they were chicks. Due to physical disabilities that have left them defenseless, many of them would not have survived on their own back in the wild.
Climb aboard the amazing Hagglund genuine as-used-in-Antarctica all terrain vehicle, sit back, hold on and experience travelling across rough terrain in this unique and exciting machine! We aim to simulate the same travelling conditions as scientists would experience riding in a Hagglund across the ice pack. This ride is the only one of its type in the world. It showcases the demanding capabilities of the Hagglund ATV.
The outdoor adventure course we have built is designed to put the Hagglund through its paces in a fun but very safe environment. Visitors buckle up before they are taken out on an exhilarating ride over mounds, a crevasse, speeding across open ground and through a pond of water to display the Hagglund's amphibious capabilities.
The final result is a highly authentic exhilarating ride of approximately 15 minutes in duration, with the driver giving an entertaining commentary.
As seen at Walt Disney and at theme parks around Europe. Shows 3D movie with glasses plus 4D special effects. These special effects include water, wind, snow, bubbles, smell, sudden seat drops and jolts, lighting effects, and lots of tickling fun! Runs every 30 minutes between 9.35am and 6.55pm daily.
