Travel on Queenstown's most iconic experience, the TSS Earnslaw, believed to be the oldest working coal-fired steamship.
Queenstown's most iconic experiences across Lake Whakatipu showcase the region's spectacular alpine scenery. The TSS Earnslaw is the oldest working coal-fired passenger steamship in the southern hemisphere. Explore the engine room from a viewing platform to see giant steam engines at work.
Once across the lake, disembark the Earnslaw at Walter Peak High Country Farm. Join the host for a walking farmyard tour, getting up close to sheep, deer, highland cattle, and alpaca. Watch a rural demonstration with sheepdogs, and then enjoy afternoon tea before the return cruise. Or choose to stay for lunch or dinner enjoying a locally sourced gourmet Kiwi BBQ menu in the Colonel's Homestead.
