Highly recommended for anyone visiting Queenstown! My parents wish to thank Wayne for a wonderful trip this afternoon and especially for taking the time to snap a photo of everyone on the boat!
Great captain/tour guide. Affordable in comparison to TSS Earnslaw. Not many people onboard during our 4pm trip. Serve your self food and drinks.
Two cruises a day where you get to see the whole of the Frankton Arm (Botanic Gardens, Kelvin Heights, Karawau Falls and Frankton) It is a gentle cruise on Lake Wakatipu with a bar and snacks on board. You get to watch some trout feeding if you're lucky. Photo opportunities the whole way through with the driver giving you a tour with the guide commentary of history and location. There is also a top deck on the boat.
A very entertaining and educational afternoon. Wayne the skipper is great fun. We sat on the roof and enjoyed a wine totally engaged in his commentary and knowledge. A very accommodating good bloke. Thanks Wayne!
Absolutely worth it. Was a cold and grey day but the captain made it fun and his narratives were informative and funny. Great cruise.
This was a fantastic afternoon. Just what we needed to unwind from the restaurants and pubs. Guide was fantastic, boat was well kept. Truly peaceful.
Excellent cruise. Very informative relaxed friendly very knowledgeable skipper. Do not miss this trip
We took our 1 and 2 year old on this cruise and they loved it. Just long enough before they lost interest, and a great activity for small kids when most attractions are for older kids.
My wife and I took the 2pm cruise on our honeymoon. Betty, who runs the show with her husband Wayne was very personable at the ticket office. Wayne was hilarious on the cruise making jokes and driving expertly around d the lake. The boat was large enough to not feel like was going to capsize in the rough water we had on the way back to the dock at the end. Wayne has a lot of knowledge about the surrounding area which he shares over the loudspeaker while captaining his vessel. We would absolutely do this cruise again. I did lose my green Boston Red Sox cap on the cruise, but that's not their fault.
Enjoyed Wayne's experienced and humourous commentary. Sounds like he has been owner operator for over 30 years. He took a nice photo of us with The Remarkables, and driving the boat.
