What To Expect
Enjoy a scenic cruise across Lake Whakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm. Dependant on the time of year, you'll have the choice of the TSS Earnslaw Steamship or the more modern Spirit of Queenstown vessel. Relax with spectacular views of Lake Whakatipu and the surrounding Remarkables mountains.
On arrival at Walter Peak, settle in for country-style tea as you’re served freshly baked scones and cakes. Once you’re fortified, hop in a saddle, take the reins and set off for a leisurely ride on horseback—no previous riding experience is necessary, and helmets and waterproof jackets are provided.
