We started our tour at the steamship wharf in Queenstown, where we boarded the vessel and puffed our way across the lake. On the way there were great views of the mountains fringing the lake, and we saw those weird sub jet vehicles zipping about. Narration about the ship and farm and piano music was provided. The ride across was about 45 minutes, and when we landed we were shown a table for 2 for our buffet lunch. Staff "controlled" the crowd volume by selecting small sections to get in line and begin to fill their plates at the many stations. You can't go hungry here, there is plenty to eat, and pork, chicken, lamb and steak were available for carnivores. Some went multiple times, but our 2nd trip was just for desserts.
After lunch, we were given a dog herding display, followed by sheep shearing. By then it was just about time to return to the steamship. There was a sing along on the way back, with a few folk interested in belting out golden oldie chestnuts, while most just enjoyed the ride and/or snoozed.
