Gorgeous scenery on the historic steamship cruise to Walter Peak Farm. Dinner was delicious with several multi-cultural options. The sheep shearing talk and demonstration was delightful and fun, with the dog and his master truly impressing, entertaining and educating the crowd. The return trip was highlighted by a lively piano player and singalong.

All good, a very enjoyable experience. I suggest that if possible do the lunch instead of the dinner else you get back after dark

Great experience! The boat was fun, ad go to see areas around queenstown from a lake view. Dinner was fantastic, great selection of grilled lamb, venison, chicken and fish, as well as a good buffett. Beautiful views from dinner. The farm show after was fun, and entertaining. Much better than we expectd from the food to entertainment. A must do on a down night.
