Absolutely loved the TSS Earnslaw lunch trip to Walter Peak. I have been to many beautiful places around the world and neglected what was in my own backyard. The TSS Earnslaw lunch trip was a wonderful way to see the beauty and experience Lake Wakatipu on a steam powered ship. The BBQ lunch is one of the best meals I have had. Considering how many people, the logistics worked like clockwork. Tip get to boat early if you want a guaranteed seat. Although recommend walking around to see the different views.

Back for the fourth time in 18 months. This is an experience you cannot miss when going to Queenstown and there is something there for everyone - the historic steam ship and the ability to watch that engine at work, the absolutely delicious buffet (best buffet in my life) to the sheep dog show, picture perfect gardens and farm animals.

From the exceptional Mickey at the ticket office who worked some magic for us to the delicious food and friendly service, this experience was delightful. The Earnslaw is gorgeous and it’s fascinating to see the workings in the engine room as you glide across the lake. An absolute must do and real value for money.
