Cruise over was lovely, food was divine and the staff had a whole system of getting people fed quickly. Once we arrived though it all felt rushed and we were unsure what was happening as there was no explanation of timing just when to be back at boat. There was no time to explore the animals/farm which was disappointing since this was advertised. We ate, walked to the sheep shearing area watched the show and went back to the boat. All a bit rushed.

This was a first for us and it was the highlight of our trip to Queenstown. We did the dinner cruise 6pm during summer. Breath taking views, gentle cruise across Wakatipu to a stunning restaurant. Friendly welcome, lovely staff. We thought it may have been a bit late for our 5 year old but there is so much to enjoy. Dinner was delicious and enjoyed walking around the farm afterwards. Highly recommend and will definitely go again!

We had a great experience on the Earnslaw. Booking through Real Journeys was easy. The cruise was so enjoyable, with friendly staff on board, serving drinks and servicing the Earnslaw. You could see the operation of the ship from higher deck which was so interesting. The dinner at Walter Peak was exceptional. Staff were so friendly and welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious and then topped off with the dog/sheep show at the end of the night made it an all round great experience. This is such a great way to enjoy the sights Queenstown has to offer whilst experiencing some of the amazing history of the Earnslaw. Would highly recommend.

Great communication, made the booking easy & hassle free.
Product rating:
The boat trip was awesome with beautiful scenery. The dinner spread at Walter Peak Farm was great with a good variety. The only downside was that our table was one of the last to be allowed to go and get our food, consequently we didn't eat till near 8pm (we had a child who was super hungry by then), and the food started running out and was cleared away at 8.30pm, so we didn't get to eat everything and missed out on most of the desserts, there was only a handful of dishes left. Otherwise the evening was fabulous. We would definitely recommend this to anyone.
