There are 3 ways of getting around in this park: you can go from bay to bay by water taxi, you can peddle yourself in a rented kayak or you can take the scenic path that will take you to the different bays. Seeing as I am far from a water rat and I\u2019m not too fond of boat-like things either, we chose the third option. We go for a beautiful walk, build sand castles on a deserted bay and even spot a kiwi!

It\u2019s easy to get around, it\u2019s just a short walk and when you\u2019re with the smallest of kids; it\u2019s buggy proof.

While I\u2019m having a apple juice with my daughter, my husband is talking to someone at the counter. He walks back with a large grin on his face and tells me he has a nice birthday gift for me for tomorrow: a skydive above the Frans Joseph glacier\u2026. Ehm\u2026 say what???<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>I wouldn\u2019t dare! I don\u2019t just dislike wobbly boats, I am afraid of heights too haha! But hey, the skydive is booked so there\u2019s no way back!! So the next morning I arrive at the airport with shaking legs.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>But despite my fear of heights, despite my fear, this is AWESOOOOOOME! It\u2019s incredibly scary to jump out of a plane but when you\u2019re freefalling through the sky with your cheeks flubbering, it gives you such a rush! The chute goes out and then I realized how beautiful the area really was! Apparently, the Frans Joseph jump is the most beautiful in the world, after Mount Everest.

Here, we store some provisions because we will leave for the fjords from Te Anau and there are no villages or (regular priced) supermarkets on the way. You can take beautiful boat trips at the fjords (that\u2019s right, I went on one), of which Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound are the most well-known. We choose Milford Sound and drive into a wet camp site and prepare for the night.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p>Seeing as it rains here 200 days a year, we fear it will be a wet gathering on our boat trip the next day. The next morning though, we see a watery sun so who knows, maybe we\u2019re in luck! We appear to have booked a nice small boat by chance, instead of the mass ones packed with tourists that are emptied from the tour busses.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p>Kids will love this too. Not just the sailing itself but you come across tons of waterfalls where the skipper is happy&nbsp; to pass under. The waterfall smashed onto the bow. As it turns out we\u2019re in luck, as the sky breaks open and lets in the sun. Soon, we\u2019re sailing under a clear blue sky towards a beautiful ford. On the way we run into lots of seals, chilling on a rock in the sun. This is a certain must do excursion when visiting New Zealand with kids.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8bb3360 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"8bb3360\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-11974 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-mobileslider'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"8bb3360\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA5ODgsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9raWRzbG92ZXRyYXZlbC5ubFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAxOVwvMTFcL0RTQ18wMTA3LmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjhiYjMzNjAifQ%3D%3D\" href='https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0107.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0107.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobileslider size-mobileslider\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Travelling through New Zealand\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0107.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0107-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"8bb3360\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA5ODYsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9raWRzbG92ZXRyYXZlbC5ubFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAxOVwvMTFcL0RTQ18wMDk0LmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6IjhiYjMzNjAifQ%3D%3D\" href='https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0094.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0094.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobileslider size-mobileslider\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: Travelling through New Zealand\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0094.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0094-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55c58bf2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"55c58bf2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">The deep south <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26950b6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26950b6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A few weeks ago we were in Cape Reinga, a mystic place in the top North of New Zealand. We told each other then it was hard to imagine we would be in the deep south of this beautiful country in a few weeks. But here we are after all, after 7 weeks of travelling New Zealand!<\/p><p>We look at each other surprised at how the weeks have flown by. Well, I guess that\u2019s why they say \u201ctime\u2019s fun when you\u2019re having flies!\u201d This southern little place is called Bluff and here too, they have a sign showing the mayor capitals in the world and one pointing to Cape Reinga of course.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Still, we find out there is a little place that\u2019s even more south, just a little bit; Slope Point. We need to go there of course! Turns out, that\u2019s not as easy at it sounds. Driving for miles on an unpaved road and continue by foot through a meadow full of, what feels like, ten thousands of sheep.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Fun with kids, you can turn it into a scavenger hunt. We finally found the place, located just beautiful. Be aware though, it\u2019s a high cliff with no gates or any other form of fences, so keep an eye on your little ones!<\/p><p>What\u2019s more in the deep South of New Zealand is the nature reserve the Catlins, with beautiful water falls, endless green hills with tons of sheep and the most breathtaking views.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bb4fc40 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3bb4fc40\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">Mountains and lakes<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-536873e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"536873e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the middle of South Island lies the highest mountain of New Zealand: Mount Cook.

Fun and adventurous for kids.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>For the little ones, a carrier is a must. Around Mount Cook are a couple of beautiful lakes. We thought Lake Pakaki was the most beautiful. Because the lake is mostly made out of glacier water, the water has a bright blue, almost fluorescent color. Near lake Pakaki there is another lake called Lake Takapo. It\u2019s lovely to install a couple of fold out chairs and just sit there and take in the incredible sights while the kids are throwing stones in the lake and feeding the ducks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5327a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"a5327a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-11974 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-mobileslider'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"a5327a2\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA5OTIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9raWRzbG92ZXRyYXZlbC5ubFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAxOVwvMTFcL0RTQ18wMjAxLmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImE1MzI3YTIifQ%3D%3D\" href='https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0201.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0201.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobileslider size-mobileslider\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel: travelling through New Zealand\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0201.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0201-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"a5327a2\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTA5OTQsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9raWRzbG92ZXRyYXZlbC5ubFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAxOVwvMTFcL0RTQ18wMjY4LmpwZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImE1MzI3YTIifQ%3D%3D\" href='https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0268.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/kidslovetravel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0268.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobileslider size-mobileslider\" alt=\"Kids Love Travel\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-321bd6b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"321bd6b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">Christchurch<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5beaf2e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5beaf2e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This is the end of our trip (sob). We\u2019ve had to adjust our traveling schedule a little because of a big earthquake in Kaikoura, a place on the coast where you can spot dolphins and wales. After the earthquake it\u2019s not safe going there because of tsunami danger, so we head on to our last stop: Christchurch.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We turn in our trusty camper \u201cFat Berta\u201d and sleep in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/nz\/the-george.en.html?aid=1421760&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">luxury hotel<\/a> for the last two nights in New Zealand. This is a welcome change after 6 weeks of camping life indeed!! Soaps, flat screen TV, a large soft bed and a balcony with lounger\u2026 wow.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We\u2019re off to explore Christchurch but it turns out to be a two sided city. On one hand it\u2019s a bubbly city full of shops and restaurants but on the other hand it\u2019s clear to see the city has been suffering from an earthquake a few years ago. Lot\u2019s of buildings are broken down and empty. Even the church in the center is still in ruins.<\/p><p>Luckily, Christchurch had lots of fun activities and so we think it\u2019s a real child friendly city. A nice little train runs through the center, a fun trip for kids. But what we really enjoyed was the botanical gardens. It\u2019s an enormous park that\u2019s full of playgrounds and when it\u2019s good weather all the restaurants lay out bean bags in the grass. Ideal for a picknick in the sun while the kids are playing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f62de0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f62de0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">Travelling through New Zealand for 7 weeks, a huge recommendation!<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c992211 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c992211\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>And that was it.

Building snowmen, throwing stones in the lake, swimming, building sand castles, feeding ducks, going on exciting walks, paddling water, you can do it all!\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s quite a bit of flying (you can say one hell of a bit).
