Step aboard the historic TSS Earnslaw for a scenic cruise across Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm, one of Queenstown’s most picturesque destinations. Soak up sweeping lake and alpine views along the way before arriving at the peaceful high-country setting, where a friendly rural host will welcome you and introduce you to the land, gardens and conservation work that make this place so special.

Wander through expansive kitchen gardens and orchards, foraging and sampling fresh seasonal produce straight from the veggie beds. Stroll along the reforested peninsula, learn about New Zealand’s native wildlife, plants and conservation efforts, and, if you wish, plant a native seedling to contribute to the area’s ongoing restoration. Then settle in and share generous garden-to-table platters featuring freshly harvested ingredients from your visit, alongside homegrown and locally sourced treats.

Combining an iconic lake cruise, beautiful high-country scenery, hands-on conservation and fresh local flavours, this experience offers a memorable way to connect with the land and culture of the region.
