That Milford Sound morning cruise was worth every bit of the early start, kids glued to the windows the whole time. Great trip for families wanting something beyond the usual theme park holiday.
We are a family of four and this was our first proper international winter holiday together. Queenstown was cold but the kids loved the crisp air after being used to Indian summers, and the evening walk by Lake Wakatipu became a nightly ritual for us. Waitomo Glowworm Grotto was the unanimous favourite, my daughter called it a real life fairy cave. Auckland at the end gave the kids some city energy to burn off before the flight home. Overall a well balanced family itinerary, would happily do it again with the in-laws next time.
Kids were mesmerised by the glowworm cave, still talk about the tiny lights months later.
Both kids enjoyed the glowworm grotto and the boat ride through Milford Sound immensely, cameras out the whole time. Only issue was our hotel room in Queenstown felt quite dated and could have used an upgrade for the price we paid. The bathroom fittings especially looked like they had not been refreshed in years. Everything outside the room more than made up for it though, especially the drive along Lake Wakatipu each evening. Auckland at the tail end gave the kids a fun last day before flying home.
The glowworm grotto and the fjord boat ride had the cameras out the entire time.
The Auckland Harbour Bridge felt like a short add-on tacked on before the flight rather than a proper day out.
