The meal is delicious. If you come to Queenstown, this tour is highly recommended. Sheep mall show and sheep shaving are also good★

Reviews: Queenstown TSS + Farm Half-Day Tour [Choose from Lake Cruise/Farm/Lunch/Dinner (Optional Combinations)]
Guest User2024-11-28
The steamship Ernstlaus trip is one of Queenstown's most classic tourism projects, none of them. The event was arranged very easily and very pleasant. The buffet barbecue tasted good. The lake and mountains were panoramic and worth recommending!★

Reviews: Queenstown lake cruise + farm half-day tour [choose from lake cruise/farm/lunch/dinner (optional combinations)]
Guest User2025-04-17
Very pleasant experience, the boat is very stable, the elderly and children have no symptoms of seasickness! The time is compact, the meal is immediately disembarked, the lunch is very delicious, the buffet, but you have to listen to the staff arrangement and pick up the meal in batches according to the seating area. Meat and desserts are impressive! The wind is very strong when the trip is very small, the return wind is much smaller, sitting on the deck to enjoy the beautiful scenery is very pleasant!★

Reviews: Queenstown: TSS Earnslaw Cruise of Lake Whakatipu
Guest User2025-11-29
Fantastic steam ship- full of history and the view of the crew stoking the coal fire and the view of the engine was a bonus. Full bar and refreshments onboard. Very organised and punctual. There is an option to have a meal at the other side of the lake - would highly recommend★

Reviews: TSS Earnslaw Lake Wakatipu Steamship Cruise from Queenstown
Guest User2025-12-16
Experience of a lifetime. Amazing coal-fired steamer operating in one of the most beautiful places in the world. There are very few coal-fired steam boats still operating in the world, and this one is beautifully maintained and a joy to travel in!
