Queenstown Adventure

Arrive in Queenstown and transfer to your hotel with the rest of the day at leisure.

This morning is at leisure before your 6pm departure from the Real Journeys Visitors Center on Steamer Wharf Report to the Steamer Wharf 20 minutes prior to your departure.

A return scenic cruise from Queenstown Bay across stunning Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm on the vintage steamship TSS Earnslaw, a farm tour and a delicious gourmet BBQ dinner.

A dining experience that’s unlike any other in Queenstown, guests disembark from their cruise at Walter Peak where they are escorted through the lakeside gardens to the recently refurbished Colonel’s Homestead and seated for dinner. Relax in the unique ambience in front of a roaring open fire and soak in the views from this stunning lakeside setting while chefs prepare a gourmet BBQ on the outdoor grill. Enjoy a selection of succulent New Zealand meat and seafood accompanied by delectable seasonal salads, tasty dessert treats and local cheeses. All meat and seafood is cooked on the outdoor BBQ and rotisserie in front of guests and served immediately. A locally influenced wine list and other beverages are available for purchase from the bar. After your meal, guests join an entertaining farm experience which gives guests an insight into the life on a New Zealand high country including a sheep shearing demonstration. The night cruise home is magical. Join in the camaraderie of a sing-a-long with the ship’s pianist on the return journey.

Today you will travel along the shores of Lake Wakatipu and through the rolling countryside to Te Anau. After a short break you will continue via the spectacular Milford Road to Milford Sound before boarding the boat for a cruise the entire length of the Sound to the Tasman Sea. There are excellent viewing opportunities for waterfalls, rainforest, mountains and wildlife. At the termination of the cruise, you will board the coach for the journey back to Queenstown.
