Return cruise on the TSS Earnslaw across Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm, with deck views, engine room access and onboard café purchases.

Tour Overview

Step aboard the TSS Earnslaw for a return cruise across Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm. This vintage steamship offers a classic way to travel on the lake, with time to settle in and take in the alpine scenery as Queenstown falls behind you and the farm comes into view on the opposite shore.

During the crossing, you can move around the decks for different views of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains, or head below to see the engine room. One of the distinctive parts of this trip is watching the stokers at work, giving you a closer look at how this historic steamship operates.

If you want something to eat or drink on board, the Promenade Café has snacks and drinks available to purchase. The pace is relaxed, making this a straightforward scenic cruise with the added character of travelling on one of Queenstown’s best-known vessels.

This experience includes the cruise over to Walter Peak High Country Farm and the return trip on the TSS Earnslaw. Please arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled departure time to allow time for check-in.
