Great trip across the lake

Such a great experience, only did the boat trip across the lake and that was fantastic. Kids loved seeing the engine room and great sites across the shoreline as we sailed.

Great Piece of NZ History

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip with the kids on the TTS Earnslaw. Next time we would love to do the farm tour & BBQ dinner option. We checked out the steam engine viewing platform & mini museum at the front of the ship - we didn’t know this existed until this time around, as we spent most of the journey out on the front of the ship last time. Take a jacket as it can get quite breezy on the lake.

Breathtaking experience with great service

We visited friends in Queenstown and were recommended this experience. The booking and support from staff was excellent. Only recommendation would be to highlight spots to park to avoid missing your booking.

A very enjoyable trip, highly recommend

We very much enjoyed the 1.5 hour cruise on this beautiful old lady Earnslaw. Good commentary and friendly staff. Treat yourself to this, thanks to bookme and OneNz saved $20. Wonderful
