Hello,
The whales you see pretty much all year round and the guides are great so you are 99% guaranteed to see them. You will also see Hector dolphins. Tine wee ones and the odd common one too.
If yous kids like death defying rides go to the Agrodome at Rotorua. Do the swing there. I took Mum on it and she kinda liked it but I loved it. You get popped into a sleeping bag the two of you. Hiked up and then release a cords and off you fly! Pretty cool.
The Luge is a cross between go cart racing and sledging on cemement. Fun for all ages! Plus the gondola ride up aint half bad.
Also try and stop off at Gravity Canyon near Taihape. You can do an amazing 1km flying fox. Fits up to three of you in. Pretty cool. You can also do another swing there which we've yet to try and a bungee.
Queenstown have more options available for these type of things.
Defo do the glaciers. We want to go back and do the heli-hike and skydive over the glaciers. its just out of this world the sceneray.
You'll love your adventure!
