Message from Abigail Hannah

Lake Wakatipu is a glacial lake, with a dramatic mountain backdrop and crystal-clear waters. It is New Zealand’s longest lake, stretching for 80 kilometres. It’s a popular destination for plenty of outdoors activities, boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming.

The TSS Earnslaw is Queenstown’s iconic vintage steamship. Taking a cruise is a beautiful way to enjoy the lake, marvel at the surrounding mountains and enjoy a piece of Otago history. The popular cruise lands at the beautiful Walter Peak High Country Farm.

Remember: New Zealand weather can change drastically. It is recommended to take a sunhat and raincoat, and apply sunscreen, whatever the weather.

Personal tip: If you’re taking the cruise in winter, the chimney is the warmest place on the boat to sit! There are several cruise tour options available, so pick the one that suits you best!

Pronunciation: Wakatipu: Waa-kaa-tee-poo
