It was worth an experience and thanks to the Experience Oz team to look after our booking.
It was worth an experience and thanks to the Experience Oz team to look after our booking. Our booking had confusion with just 1 kid however after contacting Experience Oz they assisted us to add our second kid on the same package. It was handled very professionally and I am pleased to recommend Experience Oz to all my friends and colleagues. Thanks, Experience Oz team.
Great experience
Great experience, everything ran smoothly. Staff on the boat and walter peak farm were all lovely and very informative. The TTS Earnslaw is amazing, had a great time at Walter peak farm tour, the afternoon tea was delicious. The boat ride well worth doing.
What you can expect
Experience the authentic charm of New Zealand’s high-country farming lifestyle at Walter Peak High Country Farm, located on the stunning shores of Lake Wakatipu. This unique tour begins with a scenic boat ride aboard the Spirit of Queenstown, offering breathtaking views as you cruise across the lake. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by a knowledgeable rural host who will guide you through the farm, where you’ll witness the incredible skill of farm dogs rounding up sheep in the picturesque paddocks.
Explore the farmyard on a leisurely walking tour, where you’ll have the opportunity to feed sheep and deer, and even get up close to the iconic Scottish Highland cattle. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing visit to the charming old woolshed, where you’ll be treated to a freshly baked morning or afternoon tea. Take some time to wander through the beautiful lakeside gardens before reboarding the Spirit of Queenstown for a peaceful return cruise to Queenstown. This immersive experience is the perfect way to enjoy the serene beauty of the region and learn about New Zealand’s farming traditions.

Beautiful scenery and delicious lunch
Travelling via steamboat is a unique experience in itself and well worth doing! The boat ride offers beautiful views of the lake and mountains, and the lunch was delicious, particularly the desserts. The restaurant had a good range of gluten-free and dairy free main menu items and desserts.
Review for TSS Earnslaw Cruise and Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Dining
This is a very interesting and nice experience for my family
The lunch was great and it was a great experience on the ship as well. The kids have enjoyed a pretty interesting experience. The scenery is also very nice along the way. The sheep show was also nice to watch. Will definitely come again next time.
