One of the best activity for either half day. Would recommend to take the cruise and dine in for dinner at the restaurant. Very scenic ride along the lake and the restaurant at shore has great ambience especially for dinner.

The lunch cruise to Walter Peak farm is just the best day imaginable, the cruise is so relaxing, the farm tour demonstration is amazing , the highlight is definately the sheep dogs.Then there is the bbq lunch, for mine the best food anywhere in New Zealand.Go do it.

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.

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 !!

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.
