Hi all,
Trying to plan a holiday over the upcoming Xmas break (probably Dec 27 - Jan 6) with the family, being me, wifey and 2 kids (6 and 8). Budget of around $10k all up incl airfares, accommodation, food, activities etc. Will be travelling from Perth. We all have passports.
So far we were thinking Gold Coast, but the kids may be a tad too young to get the most out of the theme parks?
We are also considering Singapore, but went there July last year for about the same all up cost and while we loved it, we are thinking of trying somewhere different.
Ultimately, we are seeking a nice relaxing, but memorable holiday with access plenty of activities to keep the kids interested / away from their ipads. ;)
Keen for any and all ideas, even Bali - although I've never been and it isn't really a preferred option of ours.
Cheers!
GOTHAM…. I mean Hawaii. Hawaii is great. Even staying at Waikiki for a few days would be memorable and generally a safe and family friendly place.
Relatively cheap for some activities - Hanauma Bay is a fantastic nature preserve for snorkelling and cheap to enter - I think it was about $10 for entrance (plus transport). Or you could rent a car spend the day driving around the island or just at Waikiki beach and do water activities. Luaus are also great for the family. Hawaii can be expensive, I guess it really depends on cost of flights (if you can get cheap Jetstar ones) + accommodation at that time. Good luck!
