What you can expect
Step aboard the Lakeland Queen for a relaxing afternoon cruise across the beautiful waters of Lake Rotorua. Inspired by the classic Mississippi paddle steamers, the Lakeland Queen is New Zealand’s only genuine stern-wheel paddle driven vessel and has been cruising Rotorua since 1986.
As you glide across the lake, enjoy delicious food & drink options (available for purchase) onboard while taking in views of iconic Rotorua landmarks including Mokoia Island, Ohinemutu, Kawaha Point and Sulphur Point. The calm waters, geothermal scenery and native birdlife make this a memorable way to experience the region.
If you would prefer a earlier experience, check out the Midday Lake Cruise on Lakeland Queen option.
