Walter Peak High Country Farm Experiences and Queenstown Lake Cruise

the registration was smooth, even the boarding and off boarding. Watching the engine room was exciting. Farm tour and the tour guide was very informational. I was excited and enjoyed the most was feeding the animals, removing the sheep's hide, and watching kim (dog) hearding the sheeps. The tea (coffee, juice) and light snack were also sufficient and taste well. Overall the experience was exemplary. Great for solo, couples, and families with kids.

So, so good! the ship itself is a beauty, staff fantastic, we were lucky and had a gorgeous sunny ☀️ day for the cruise. the bbq lunch though was OUTSTANDING!!! staff waiving as we arrived, the food was incredible and . the grounds and gardens are stunning, and the sheep shearing & roundup experience was fantastic. an absolute MUST DO in QT

TSS Earnslaw was such a fun and beautiful ride to the Walter Peak farm tour. Joe and his working dog, Echo were amazing guides. Beautiful farm animals to feed and pet. Followed by afternoon tea and shearing/hearding show. Earnslaw ready to take you back to Queenstown. highly recommend.

The trip is interesting and fun to go with a full schedule of farm visit! The steamship is really ancient and intriguing to watch. The farm visit was a highlight : our guide anna brought us to feed many farm animals, then fed you with scones and demonstrated sheep shearing and sheperd dog tricks. It's an enlightening experience.

The TSS Earnslaw Cruise and Farm Show was one of the best experiences of our trip! The cruise itself was beautiful and relaxing, but the farm show truly made it unforgettable. The demonstration was fun, engaging, and gave us a real taste of New Zealand farm life — we loved every moment of it. After the show, the afternoon tea was such a treat. There was a lot of variety, from sweet to savoury options, and everything was delicious. The whole experience felt well-organised, enjoyable, and perfect for all ages. Definitely one of the highlights of our Queenstown adventure — highly recommended! 🚢🐑☕✨

My partner and I had such an amazing time on the TSS Earnslaw and the BBQ lunch at Walter Peak Farm – it was easily one of our favourite experiences in Queenstown. The cruise over was super relaxing. The steamship itself is beautiful and full of character, and the views across Lake Wakatipu were just stunning. We spent time up on the deck taking it all in and even got to check out the engine room, which was pretty cool to see in action. Once we got to the farm, we were treated to the most delicious buffet BBQ. The food was fresh and so well done – heaps of meats straight off the grill, tasty sides, salads, and desserts that we definitely went back for more of. The setting was beautiful too, right by the lake with mountain views all around. After lunch, there was a fun little farm show with sheep and dogs, which added a bit of charm to the whole experience. It felt peaceful, laid-back, and just a really lovely way to spend the day together. Highly recommend.

The ship was an incredibly beautiful journey (however it does get cold so make sure your dressed up!), the farm was incredibly enjoyable, with fluffy cows, alpacas, delicious food etc. It’s an easy journey and an easy process, make sure you get there early to grantee a good spot in line!

A very enjoyable trip! You can catch the sunset on the way there. The BBQ buffet lasts for one hour, the ice cream is delicious, and the meats are great too, with pork/beef/chicken options. For seafood, there are shrimp and mussels. The farm show is thirty minutes long, and the return trip is around 8 pm, arriving in Queenstown at 8:30 pm. You can also take night view photos on the boat. It's a fantastic trip!

The historic ship is amazing and the farm tour at Walter Peak Highland Farm is very interesting too! We get to feed the animals and had a great buffet tea time, love this trip!

We had an amazing time onboard the TSS Earnslaw - the ship was historical and well maintained. The entertainment onboard was also enjoyable. We availed of the bbq buffet lunch and it was really yummy and satisfying - really value for money. Plenty of meat, cheese, great desserts. The farm show after was really good too. Kudos to the shepherd and to Mia the dog - very good show. Will definitely reccomend to others.
