Incredible day with Jamie from Fiordland Tours from Te Anau to Milford sound. Excellent info, friendly manner, showed us lots of hidden waterfalls and areas we wouldn't have found ourselves.

We had the best time. It was my husband's birthday and it was made special with the dessert having a candle and singing. The BBQ food is delicious and we loved the show. Definitely worth the outing. We will be back with our grandkids. This is our second time and have loved both times.

A fantastic trip with top quality food. We really enjoyed being in the lake and the meal was excellent. The family enjoyed seeing the sheep dog at work too. Highly recommend.

I’d heard great things about Walter Peak, and it didn’t disappoint. The cruise was scenic, the BBQ was mouthwatering, and the sheepdog display had everyone laughing and cheering. Booking was straightforward, and it felt like such a special way to experience Queenstown.

I didn’t know much about Walter Peak before booking, but it ended up being one of my favorite stops in Queenstown. The BBQ was exceptional, and the farm demo was surprisingly fun. Booking the tour was a breeze, and it all felt like such a classic Kiwi experience.

This day trip had a little bit of everything—great food, stunning views, and a cool look into farm life. The ride on the TSS Earnslaw was a peaceful start, and the BBQ lunch didn’t disappoint—everything was cooked to perfection. Booking was easy, and once the trip started, I didn’t have to think about a thing. It’s the kind of experience that’s perfect for slowing down and soaking up the scenery.

I loved how this tour combined so many things—scenic cruising, great food, and a bit of farm life. The BBQ at Walter Peak was honestly amazing; I went back for seconds (and maybe thirds). The sheepdog demo was surprisingly fascinating, and the guide made it fun and interactive. Booking was smooth, and I loved how relaxed the whole experience felt.

If you’re visiting Queenstown, don’t miss this! The cruise on the TSS Earnslaw was so charming, and Walter Peak was absolutely beautiful. The BBQ lunch was one of the best meals I’ve had while traveling—everything was so fresh and tasty. The farm demo added a fun touch to the day. I booked with Backpacker Deals, and it was such a simple process from start to finish. This is a perfect activity for families, couples, or even solo travelers—loved it!

This tour was incredible from start to finish! Cruising across Lake Wakatipu on the TSS Earnslaw felt so special, and the gourmet BBQ was next-level delicious. The farm tour gave a great glimpse into rural life, and the sheepdog demonstration was a standout. Smooth booking process and great value with Backpacker Deals.

Old steam boat was cool and interesting to see how it works. The buffet gourmet lunch was by far the best. Amazing food and service. Even had pencils and paper already set up for our kids. Lovely wine as well. The dog show was also impressive! A great mix!
