Immerse yourself in a unique experience where conservation, horticulture, and eco-tourism meet on an epic cruise aboard the iconic century-old coal-fired steamship...
It is a very nice ship. The staff is friendly and helpful. It was an enjoyable experience with a great hightea, fruitgarden and you could plant a tree of your choosing. We both enjoyed it a lot!
This was a last minute booking for our last day in Queenstown and we are SO glad we did it. The TSS Earnslaw is a beauty, the crew attentive and the captain's narrative unobtrusive yet interesting. Our tour guide (Sarah-Jane I think, apologies if I've got that wrong) was welcoming and full of information. She dealt sensitively with those who had English as a second language and cheerfully gave a considered response to any question posed. The high tea was outstanding, beautifully presented, plentiful and predominantly sourced from the kitchen garden on site. It was awesome go be able to help woth reforestation although we were a little surprised a the number of our group who chose not to do this. Thankyou RealNZ for a great afternoon- we have already decided that we will return next year with our (grown-up) kids.
I thought we were signing up for the farm tour which I’ve done many times but accidentally signed up for the eco experience. It was the best! The high tea was incredible and I enjoyed seeing the garden. My kids still got to feed the animals. So great!
Great cruise and generous morning tea, nice garden and tree planting experience
