From Queenstown: TSS Earnslaw Cruise with Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Experience

Ticketing was super easy. The Erneslaw trip was great. The music by Tony really got everyone enthusiastic as he is a great and engaging entertainer. Lunch at the Walter Peak farm was very good.

Great day on TSS Earnslaw Lunch at Walter Peak excellent. Sheep dog and shearing display engaging. Good communication and organisation from headout

The boat trip was great. The lack of information was woeful! The announcements were impossible to hear. When we got off the boat to get our meal we had no idea where to go. We almost missed the sheep shearing as we didn't know where to go ( and met several other people who missed it completely.

The steamboat was authentic- that is, a real steamboat- and the journey beautiful. It was the best buffet that I have ever had, and the dog and sheep show was wonderful. From a well-travelled Irish woman.

Boat trip was beautiful, Lunch was amazing, farm show was good, would of liked more time to look around the property. Seemed rushed to get us processed and back to Queenstown docks. Still an amazing day and would recommend it to everyone 😊

The booking process was painless and the disembarking of passengers from the Earnslaw and boarding of new passengers was very efficiently handled. With one exception we found staff generally helpful and kind. They worked hard, especially the man in the engine room stoking the fireboxes for the boilers. Having access to the engine room was a memorable experience and information about the Earnslaw was readily available. What impressed us most was the attention to detail including the staff coming out to wave a welcome to guests as the Earnslaw approached Walter Peak Station. Feeding 250 people was no mean feat. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. Finally, the giftshop was well stocked and the farm show informative and we'll-presented. A Korean couple sat next to us at dinner. We asked them what they liked so far. The husband replied, "it's like heaven!" You couldn't get a better accolade than that!

Really historic ship, still fitted out as if the turn of the century. Wonderful cruise and great dining at the station. Even the sheep shearing was entertaining.

What fun to get to ride on the TTS Earnslaw! It was a brilliant day to cruise down the lake and arrive at the beautiful Victorian home on the lake. The buffet was delicious and the desserts were outstanding!! Loved the sheep show and the working dog. Our cruise home was high lighted with a star filled sky.

Great cruise on the old steamer...... there and back!!! Just a perfect day!!! We got a great seat at the Homestead restaurant...... with a front seat view of the Lake....topped off by the best BBQ lunch we've had in ages!! The BBQ meats along with the rest of the meal were "to die for". The sheep shearing and dog demonstration was a great addition. Don't change anything. We had a glorious day!!! Thanks so much.

None of the choices above were suitable. I thought the farm show was entertaining and the dinner venue was nice. Service was good. I found the boat trip less luxurious than expected and would have liked to sit outside but difficult to find space. The dinner was OK but not fabulous. Not too keen on buffet.

Everything was seemless. We thought it was great value for money and had a great experience from beginning to end. Boat was beautiful and dinner was good quality and as much as you could eat.

The farm is beautiful and the food was wonderful. We were not able to taste some of the shellfish options due to us being diverted to the meat station. Unfortunately other guests loaded their plates but maybe in the future count on this? We cannot control humanity.... The servers were so pleasant. The skipper professionally handled the medical emergency. Thank you for a terrific evening!

Absolutely awesome day. The booking online was effortless. Prompt reply. Follow up emails informing us of times location great. The Earnslaw was fantastic as was the BBQ lunch. Great value for money

The cruise along the lake was lovely. The bbq food was very good, & we enjoyed the sheep shearing demo. We felt it was all a bit rushed tho, by the time they'd got everyone seated in the restaurant & to the farm show, there was no time left to look around the other parts of the farm or to enjoy the scenery. The boat felt quite packed especially if you wanted to be outside on the front deck area.

We had such a great experience right from when we got on the boat to when we returned. The views from Walter Peak were stunning and the gourmet bbq was divine. Highly recommended this to anyone

The food was great but the person at the boat telling about the boats history and the surroundings was difficult to understand due to 1) engine noise 2) his dialect. Better run a tape spoken in BBC English The sheep sheering show afterwards was soso We were at agrodome and that was far more entertaing how the presentation was done

It was all 1st class. I hadn't been onboard TSS Earnslaw since I was a kid. We took the Gormet BBQ option and the entire journey & Walter Peak Station totally exceeded all expectations. Keep up the awesome mahi 👍

I took my parents over for dinner. They hadnt been on the Earnslaw for 60 years. The joy and smiles on their faces was amazing. My dad could recite his whole trip from last time like it was yesterday. Thank you

Going on the TSS Earnslaw Cruise was a wonderful experience, it was easy to book, very relaxing , the views of the lake were breathtaking, food was excellent, staff were fun, the whole experience was just superb, thank you! Highly recommend this tour.

Great experience in Queenstown, the cruise on the steamship was lovely, and the food was excellent. Well organized and the farm show was also very interesting! Highly recommend!
