Experience a relaxing cruise on board New Zealand's iconic TSS Earnslaw and gain an insight into high country life with a tour of Walter Peak High Country Farm.
*Please note the TSS Earnslaw will be on survey from 4th - 29th June 2024 - a replacement vessel will be used during this period - thank you*
Your experience begins with a magical cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the TSS Earnslaw, a vintage steamship launched in 1912 and rich in local pioneering history.
Soak up the spectacular views with a wine or beer from our bar, visit the mini-museum or check out the action in the engine room as we cruise towards Walter Peak.
Upon disembarking, you will be greeted by our rural host who will take you on a fascinating guided tour of this historic farm.
On this interactive farming experience, you'll be able to see a sheep shearing demonstration and watch farm dogs round up sheep from the paddocks.
Visit the holding pens and feed the farm animals before enjoying freshly baked afternoon tea in a delightfully rustic old wool shed.
A unique and interactive experience that will enable you to immerse yourself into rural New Zealand life.

Well run from start to finish. It was great to be able to see the workings of TSS Earnslaw. The farm tour was informative and delivered in a friendly manner, the afternoon tea was lovely - something for everyone.
Fabulous experience - from boarding to disembarking, wonderful service and incredible scenes both on and off the ship. Walter Peak farm was incredible.
TSS Earnslaw Cruise & Walter Peak Farm Tour was a wonderful experience for our 20-month-old son. The crew on the ship were very professional and helpful and it was amazing to see how a steamship operated. The lunch provided on the farm was delicious and plentiful and the sheep-sharing show was unexpected! The farm tour was very informative and everything was so clean and well looked after. We had an amazing day!
