Description:

This tour offers a valuable insight into the culture of rural New Zealand, capped off with a delicious barbecue dinner in charming surroundings. Take a river cruise on immaculate lake waters aboard a historic steamship, indulge in a tasty meal, and be entertained by live farming demonstrations.

Stretching out from the shores of Queenstown are the pure waters of Lake Wakatipu. Board the heritage steamship TSS Earnslaw, and set out across the lake. More than 100 years old, your boat is packed with history. It is the only coal-fired steamship still carrying passengers in the Southern Hemisphere. Sit back, take a break, and admire the dramatic scenery of lush, green hillsides topped with jagged peaks.

Land at Walter Peak High Country Farm, and hear about its history and about the founding-farms of the area. Within the pleasant environs of the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant, enjoy the array of freshly prepared food in your buffet meal. Grilled meats, fresh salads, and seasonal vegetables all are all featured on the menu. After your meal, those with a sweet tooth can indulge in a wide selection of desserts.

Once you have satisfied your appetite, take a seat for the live demonstrations put on by the farm workers, which give you a fascinating insight into the operations of the ranch in an informative, yet also entertaining way. Feel the fresh breeze in your face as you return to Queenstown by boat.
