    We enjoyed the cruise as it went in a different direction to the TSS Earnslaw cruise. We saw across the lake, the other side of Queenstown, The scenery was lovely and some lovely birds. One flock of which had mirgrated from Australia. The captain was great and knowledgeable but the jokes knocking Australia and Australians was getting tedious by the end of the cruise. We found this happened on almost all of the tours we did in Queenstown. We saw how far the Hilton was from Central Queenstown and were glad we didn't stay there.

  • Highly recommended

    Dan was so knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited and was also quite engaging and entertaining with the guest who were on board. Sarah interacted nicely and professionally and made sure everyone was respectfully catered for.
