“This day trip had a little bit of everything—great food, stunning views, and a cool look into farm life. The ride on the TSS Earnslaw was a peaceful start, and the BBQ lunch didn’t disappoint—everything was cooked to perfection. Booking was easy, and once the trip started, I didn’t have to think about a thing. It’s the kind of experience that’s perfect for slowing down and soaking up the scenery.”

“I loved how this tour combined so many things—scenic cruising, great food, and a bit of farm life. The BBQ at Walter Peak was honestly amazing; I went back for seconds (and maybe thirds). The sheepdog demo was surprisingly fascinating, and the guide made it fun and interactive. Booking was smooth, and I loved how relaxed the whole experience felt.”

“If you’re visiting Queenstown, don’t miss this! The cruise on the TSS Earnslaw was so charming, and Walter Peak was absolutely beautiful. The BBQ lunch was one of the best meals I’ve had while traveling—everything was so fresh and tasty. The farm demo added a fun touch to the day. I booked with Backpacker Deals, and it was such a simple process from start to finish. This is a perfect activity for families, couples, or even solo travelers—loved it!”

“This tour was incredible from start to finish! Cruising across Lake Wakatipu on the TSS Earnslaw felt so special, and the gourmet BBQ was next-level delicious. The farm tour gave a great glimpse into rural life, and the sheepdog demonstration was a standout. Smooth booking process and great value with Backpacker Deals.”

“Old steam boat was cool and interesting to see how it works. The buffet gourmet lunch was by far the best. Amazing food and service. Even had pencils and paper already set up for our kids. Lovely wine as well. The dog show was also impressive! A great mix!”
