[quote=Anonymous]Been to NZ a couple of times now and it's truly one of my favorite places on earth.

Abel Tasman national park - northern part of South Island.  You can hike and even sea kayak - great for kids.

Queenstown is the hotbed of fun and adventure, New Zealand style.  Aside from the typical thrill-seeking stuff (bungy jumping which is not appropriate for the kids), there are fun adventure parks that you can research a bit to see if they have stuff that would appeal for young kids.  Don't think wine tasting is in the cards with the kids in tow, but there maybe some kid-friendly spots you could hit.

There's also glacier tours - easy hiking (but check the ages for that).  You can also sign up for a one day cruise to explore the fiords and do whale watching - kind of like a mini-Alaska trip (it's a long day but worth it - gorgeous scenery).  I just can't recall if you book these adventures from Queenstown but an internet search will help - everything is easy in NZ.

Not sure if the cost is worth it, but there are tours for the Lord of the Rings movie sets. Christchurch and Wellington really don't have much to offer or to see or do.

Have a great trip - I'm so jealous!![/quote]
