We had a fantastic experience on the lakeland queen cruise. The weather was great and the crew gave us a very warm welcome on board. The ship is pretty iconic and impressively well maintained and in good condition. The sailing started on the dot at 1pm and our cruise captain was awesome who gave an excellent and clear commentary with a brief history of all attractions of the rotorua lakes region as we passed them by. We were absolutely thrilled with our experience and would very highly recommend every tourist to do this cruise as a MUST DO activity while in rotorua.

Thank you for choosing Lakeland Queen Cruise! We are happy to hearing from customer and will keep developing our product! Hope to see you again soon!
Being a local I actually enjoyed myself. Super chill vibes. The muffin was yummy and unlimited hot drinks made standing outside on the deck in the wind reeeeally nice also good place for pictures, there’s plenty of space for prams etc and windows are big so can sit inside and look out the window. I thought we’d go closer to mokoia island and didn’t really care for the things the showed us I.e. sulphur point but that’s because I’m local and see this things regularly, also would have been nice if the tour included more detail about the Maori history of the lake etc. But if you’re local and thinking of giving it a try, find a deal on here and go check it out
