I go for a month at a time and can't spend that sort of money - but I'm solo and not paying for anyone else. Going October 2-31 and it's cost me around $2400 for airfare from Sydney and accommodation. I could have done it cheaper but that's where others I'm traveling with wanted to stay.
I generally average $50-70 a day spending money on my own. Last trip was different and I averaged $40 a day, but that was only a couple of day trips, not much shopping and eating local a lot of the time. I'm also not much of a drinker.
So, I would think that $200 a day for a family of 5 when you're doing things like Waterbom, Safari Park etc is a bloody good price. Did you expect everything to cost $5 entry?
