Description

This is an amazing opportunity to experience two of the ‘must-dos’ in Queenstown, with an exhilarating 25 minute jet boat on Lake Wakatipu & the Kawarau River, combined with a slower paced activity aboard the famous TSS Earnslaw boat cruise, which is a vintage 1912 steamship. 

Departing from the lakeside kiosk in central Queenstown, you will first jump on the 25 minute jet boat ride with RealNZ (formerly Go Orange). Experience high speed, thrills and plenty of 360 degree spins as you race around the Frankton Arm and the opening of the Kawarau river while skimming past trees and obstacles at speeds of up to 95km per hour!

Upon your return, make your way to board the TSS Earnslaw steamship cruise which departs from the Steamer Wharf. This will see you on a picturesque 90 minute Queenstown boat cruise across Lake Wakatipu.

Disembark at Walter Peak and explore the high country homestead of Walter Peak Farm Station. Here you will have the opportunity to see highland cattle, sheep, deer and alpacas as you get a glimpse of life on a real kiwi high-country farm. Enjoy a delicious BBQ Lunch and a guided farm tour at Walter Peak High Country Station. 

Following this, kick back and enjoy the return cruise or take a look around the TSS Earnslaw where you can see the working engine room up close and personal, or else explore the vessel's history through a collection of historical images. The timings for this day out are all designed so that you can enjoy each activity in a seamless manner, and maximise your enjoyment of this amazing location.
