We were at a loss one day of what to do in Queenstown and chose the Walter Peak High Country farm tour, which included a trip on the TSS Earnslaw. After seeing the Earnslaw steaming across the lake many times, it was great to experience it for myself. The experience at Walter Peak is a must-do. It was great to see the sheep shearing, sheep round up and have afternoon tea in the gorgeous lodge. Feeding the farm animals and learning about the farm were also highlights. Will always remember this experience.
Went on the boat ride and had the Buffett dinner and farm visit and was very happy with the trip, food farm show. Great food for the Buffett at the homestead. AAA+
We did the 25 minute jet boat ride and it was amazing. Our guide Josh was excellent and really enjoyed the little details he added during the ride as well as the local information he provided. This was a great warm up to see if you can handle the hour jet boat ride. Highly recommend doing this and if you go during winter time to bring gloves !!
We agree.... it is far more enjoyable if you dress to the conditions. Josh is great, I will pass on your kind words to Josh.
Thanks again for choosing to come with Go Orange
Best value in Queenstown, looking for 3hrs to kill then ride the TSS Earnslaw across to Walter Peak station for tea/coffee and cakes. Have a walk around the farm animals and experience the isolation of a high country station. Feed the animals, watch a sheep get Shawn, and the working dogs heard some sheep. Best 3hrs spent.
A fantastic old vessel we chose the lunch package and was not dissapointed it was fantastic. The cruise and history of the Earnshaw was just right. Then a quick shearing demo at destination. The to the homestead for a magnificent all you can eat lunch best food in NZ. Then we sailed home again a good distance Great value for money. Highly recommended.
