The experience

Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Dinner Cruise on the Spirit of Queenstown

Cruise in style across Lake Whakatipu aboard the Spirit of Queenstown, a modern catamaran designed for comfort, space, and sightseeing. With a smooth 30-minute one-way journey, the cruise itself is a highlight — relax on the spacious open-top deck or inside the contemporary cabin while enjoying panoramic views of The Remarkables and Queenstown’s alpine scenery. Onboard commentary shares local stories and insights, while the café and bar offer the perfect excuse to unwind with a drink as you sail to the secluded shores of Walter Peak High Country Farm. Once ashore, indulge in a gourmet BBQ buffet of local and homegrown produce at the beautifully restored Homestead Restaurant, soak up the lakeside setting, and finish the experience with a much-loved farm dog show before cruising back across the lake.
