“Steering into Serenity: A Perfect Day on the Water” - What an amazing day on the water! 🌊⛵
We had a relaxing and scenic boat cruise, with the added bonus of having our friendly captain, Troy, who’s from Perth, make the experience even better. The highlight? Troy let Mahad take the wheel and drive the boat! 🚤✨
It was a perfect day to unwind and enjoy the beauty around us. Thank you, Captain Troy, for making it so memorable!

Nature's Grand Welcome - Awesome! It was a restful activity but packed with opportunity for reflection. The full circle view of mountain range around Lake Wakatipu is a delightful sight to see. A great intro to our Queenstown holiday. Loved it much!!! 😊😊😊
Amazing Remarkables and Capt Troy completed the full package. To say the least those pretty 🏠 and nature's adorned hillside were like jewels surrounding the lake, as if showing a great welcoming gesture to a visitor like us.
To see, to admire and to look beyond what nature could bring to the relective soul in a 1.5 hour experience. It is like a prologue to a great book!
Thank you Queenstown.

Great lake cruise for the family. - Great cruise for family to provide "on the lake" view of Queenstown. Skipper was very knowledgeable and humorous. I was a nice change to the adrenaline activities of Queenstown. 1.5hrs was just right for the tour.
