Witness the beauty of Lake Whakatipu on board the iconic vintage steamship, the TSS Earnslaw, (1912), before indulging in a delicious gourmet BBQ lunch at Walter Peak High Country Farm
Enjoyed journey on the wonderful steamboat. Amazing food for lunch - one of the best menu's ever. Booked the trip through Bookme.com - not a good experience. The distinction between the steamboat travel and moterised vessel is not clear. An upgrade on their website is a must.
Walter Peak bbq cruise is a must
iconic views ,happy cruise, satisfying food
We had a beautiful day travelling on the TSS Earnslaw and the views were stunning with autumn colours. The BBQ lunch was so high class with so many amazing choices - especially the deserts. Ashley and Mia put on an excellent farm show - very entertaining. Would definitely do this again if I come back to Queenstown!

Super
La journee geniale! Nous avons pris le bateau direction walter peak, avec explication de l'histoire du bateau en francais sur un flyer ou en anglais au micro. Arrivons a la ferme et sommes diriges vers un show de chien de dressage ainsi que la tonte d'un mouton, super! Enfin le buffet est top, mis a part les pris assommant sur les boissons.
