Exceptional experience aboard Million Dollar cruise - We had a great trip with Captain Dan. He gave an extra effort for all the passengers; shared his knowledge of the lake and surroundings; even took photos in a safe manner in spite of being the only person leading the ship. He was so kind to my daughter that he showed her how to navigate his boat. His multi tasking skills were exceptional. Thank you Dan !

Don't Skip this in Queenstown - Excellent cruise. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice day out in Queenstown. Absolutely beautiful scenery and the skipper was incredibly friendly. He even let us steer the ship which was a really cool experience.

A great way to start your stay in Queenstown - Troy was very knowledgeable about the sights and history of Queenstown and gave us plenty of tips on what to see during our stay. The views all around lake Wakatipu are stunning, especially from the top deck.

Wonderful trip with Troy - This was such a great cruise and significantly cheaper than the steamer. The day I went was excellent weather and the surroundings were at their very best with sunshine and snow capped mountains. The captain, Troy really made the trip though- he was brilliant! From his friendly welcome and initial feeding of the trout before embarking, to his amusing, informative commentary and his consideration in taking photos of us in the perfect spot in front of The Remarkables. He really did enhance the trip. The boat has a comfy interior but I spent most of the time up on deck in the fresh air. Snacks and drinks available. Heartily recommend,

Great commentary Fun facts
A lovely different perspective of Queenstown that was cost effective from the water :)
