Good trip

The trip was good, the booking experience was not. I should have booked directly with the cruise company. I thought I had, but got TripAdvisor on my phone.

Scenic Lake Wakatipu

Fabulous way to see the scenery around Lake Wakatipu. Great narration as we travelled along. Best views from top deck but dress warmly.

We were lucky enough to receive a free upgrade from the catamaran to the steamship. Normally a bit expensive, but for Techni

Great experience, great flair

Great Trip with fantastic scenery

The catamaran can go faster than the steamship so goes farther up the lake and into a couple of coves which really added value. The Captain and his commentary were very good

Relaxing cruise

A quiet easy going boat ride. The captain did a great job explaining all the sites. Drinks were available for purchase and overall it was a great balue for the 2 hours spent. Just nothing special.
