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.

As you glide over the water, take in sweeping views of the Remarkables and the surrounding landscapes, making this a must-do in the adventure capital of the world. Along the way, you’ll spot icons like Mt Earnslaw and the beautiful Bob’s Cove, known for its sparkling blue water and lush greenery.

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.
