Evening walks along the lake became a nice ritual for our family of four. Milford Sound day trip is quite long for young kids though, ours got restless by the return drive.
Alpine views were stunning and the gondola was an easy win with the kids, quick and rewarding. Just wish there was a shorter fjord option built into the family itinerary instead of the full day version.
Queenstown is beautiful and the cruise was memorable, yet three nights felt short once the Milford day swallowed a whole one. Our kids got fractious on the return leg and we never quite recovered the pace, lovely but a touch rushed for a family.
Gorgeous scenery throughout, but our youngest really struggled with the long drive to Milford Sound and back in a single day, a lot of car time on a three-night family trip. The gondola was the far easier, kid-friendly highlight.
Gondola ride over Lake Wakatipu had the whole family reaching for their cameras.
Gorgeous scenery throughout but our youngest struggled with the long drive to Milford Sound and back in a single day, a lot of time in the car for a three night family trip. Gondola ride was the easier, more kid friendly highlight.
