Witness the beauty of Lake Whakatipu on board a vintage steamship (TSS Earnslaw, 1912) or on our stylish modern catamaran (Spirit of Queenstown) before indulging in a delicious gourmet BBQ lunch at Walter Peak High Country Farm
Walter Peak bbq cruise is a must
iconic views ,happy cruise, satisfying food
We had a beautiful day travelling on the TSS Earnslaw and the views were stunning with autumn colours. The BBQ lunch was so high class with so many amazing choices - especially the deserts. Ashley and Mia put on an excellent farm show - very entertaining. Would definitely do this again if I come back to Queenstown!
A perfect day to cruise on the SS Earnslaw to Walter Peak station for an excellent bbq lunch and sheep shearing, sheep dog demonstration. It was a well organised event and a grand day out on a grand, elderly working steamship.

Steamboat to the Farm & BBQ lunch
Enjoyed journey on the wonderful steamboat. Amazing food for lunch - one of the best menu's ever. Booked the trip through Bookme.com - not a good experience. The distinction between the steamboat travel and moterised vessel is not clear. An upgrade on their website is a must.
