WE really enjoyed the farm tour and it was also very interesting to be able to watch the engine room of the coal fired steamer.

Everything! I booked half an hour before the experience. I received a phone call while I was waiting in line to see if I had made it to the jetty ready to board..ah yes...surprised at the followup. Like who does that, impressed team!
Staff - friendly on the boat and on shore
Farm tour - very informative, play time with the animals, i loved the care and safety of the animals from the tour guide (wondering if a translator would be helpful as saw an asian participant touch and pull horns when told not too). Timing was just right..not too long and not too short.
Farm show - impressive, exceeded my expectations. Loved the amphitheater.
Afternoon tea - wow what...loved it (the fresh scones were like my mum's homemade ones)
Boat ride - added to the experience
Overall a 10/10 experience and will highly recommend it to colleagues and family.

Excellent boat cruise, with the Captain providing good info. The welcome snacks at the farm were tasty, and warmly served. The shearer (guy from Wales) was absolutely brilliant. He made the visit so entertaining! The animals were adorable, especially the Scottish cattle (the male, Doogle!) and the Alpacas! The shearing demo was brilliant! Overall, a fantastic experience!

Ticketing was was easy. The ship was gear. Very exciting to see the boiler room. Stoking the coal and the engines running. The farm excellent. Quinn was great. Plenty of animals to see and shearing the sheep was interesting. Kim the sheep dog was good too. Overall great experience

The whole thing, but especially the opportunity to feed multiple farm animals and watch the sheep dogs, and to see the inner workings of the steamship. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

It was lovely to cruise on a historic steamer across a gorgeous lake to a beautiful farm. What's not to like?
