Heritage Excursions

TSS Earnslaw & Walter Peak High Country Farm


Gain an insight into Queenstown’s unique heritage with this fascinating excursion.

Cruise across Lake Wakatipu on the TSS Earnslaw accompanied by our onboard historian. As you cruise you’ll learn about the steamship’s early cargo-carrying days serving the remote farms on the shores of the lake.

Disembark at Walter Peak High Country Farm for a guided tour of the Colonel’s Homestead and its beautifully presented gardens. Your guide will show you the homestead’s collection of photographs and memorabilia of the pioneering farming families.

Then relax in the idyllic rural surroundings and enjoy a central Otago wine and cheese tasting, accompanied by an antipasto platter.

Afterwards, stroll around the farmyard or simply relax in the gorgeous surrounds over a glass of Sauvignon Blanc or rich Pinot Noir before cruising back to Queenstown.
