Cruise Lake Whakatipu on the TSS Earnslaw or Spirit of Queenstown, then tour Walter Peak Farm for animal shows and tea.

“The entire experience was great, to visit a farm and see the animals, though the twist of it being run by a tour company focussed on bringing tourism experiences at its best. Fantastic tour guide, and exquisite high tea, it was a great afternoon. Our group had 4 adults - thoroughly enjoyable!”
