Lake Trip!;
A very pleasant and relaxed ways to see the beauties of Lake Wakatipu, and experience a little of high country agricultural life. The farm visit was an interesting interlude.

Unique experience
You must go on the TSS Earnslaw if you are in Queenstown. It is a great way to view the scenery from the water but the thrill of seeing, hearing and smelling a marine steam engine takes you back to the days that represent the early development of New Zealand. A truly visceral experience!

Exceeded expectations
The boat was beautiful, down to the smallest details. And there were amazing little extras - like being able to look into the steam room etc. The cafe had delicious food, and fantastic service. And the farm tour was totally cool. It was a big highlight of the trip. So worth it. Even my teenage kids thought it was awesome!
