TSS Earnslaw & Walter Peak Farm Experience with Afternoon Tea

Basic Information
  • Duration: 3.5 hours
  • Language: English
Summary Description

Your scenic cruise by vintage ship begins at the steamer wharf in Queenstown, where you board the TSS Earnslaw—one of the only passenger-carrying steamships in the southern hemisphere—for a cruise across Lake Wakatipu.

An onboard pianist plays old tunes during the journey. Check out the ship's original steam engines or the historical displays.

Upon arrival at the Walter Peak High Country Farm, enjoy tea and homemade snacks or baked goods. Wander through the lakeside gardens and head to the farmyard for a tour. See resident sheep, cattle, deer, and goats, as well as a sheep-dog demonstration.

Get back on the boat for the journey back to Queenstown, and get dropped off at the wharf.
