Experience one of Queenstown’s most iconic excursions with a relaxing cruise across Lake Wakatipu followed by a gourmet lakeside BBQ lunch at Walter Peak High Country Farm. Your journey begins aboard either the historic TSS Earnslaw steamship—an elegant, coal-fired vessel from 1912—or the modern Spirit of Queenstown catamaran, both offering stunning alpine views along the way. As you glide across the lake, enjoy open-air decks, breathtaking panoramas, and live commentary that shares stories about the region’s history and landscape.

Once you arrive at Walter Peak, settle in at the charming Colonel’s Homestead for a chef-prepared BBQ meal featuring premium local ingredients, fresh salads, seasonal vegetables, and indulgent desserts. After lunch, enjoy a classic Kiwi farm experience with sheep-shearing demonstrations and impressive sheepdog displays, or simply wander the beautifully kept lakeside gardens. It's a perfect blend of scenery, flavour, and farm charm—ideal for families, couples, and anyone wanting a relaxing day on the water.
