We picked this for our honeymoon and New Zealand did not let us down for a single day. Queenstown in June has this crisp, almost fairy tale feel with snow on the peaks and barely any crowds around. The Waitomo Glowworm Grotto was unlike anything we had seen before, floating silently under thousands of tiny blue lights. Auckland at the end felt like a nice contrast, good energy after the quiet of the south. Four nights moved fast but every single day had something memorable.
Absolutely loved the Milford Sound cruise, no complaints there at all. The road transfer from Queenstown to the fiord and back is extremely long though, almost the whole day gone in the bus which left us quite drained by evening.
Milford Sound cruise left us speechless, waterfalls crashing down on both sides of the boat.
Milford Sound, with waterfalls crashing down both sides of the boat, left my wife speechless, and that is a rare thing.
Queenstown scenery is unreal, Auckland dinner felt like a rushed add-on at the end though.
Lake Wakatipu at dusk with my husband, cold air and alpine glow, is the image I keep coming back to.
