Farming in the New Zealand high country is a way of life – and it’s one you can get up close to on this tour. This is a New Zealand farming tour like no other – a visit to the farm and a few hours of enjoying an interactive experience. It includes a scenic cruise onboard the vintage TSS Earnslaw to the farm.
You will be greeted by the rural host upon disembarking the TSS Earnslaw. Then it’s time for the walking tour of the farmyard, visiting the holding pens, where you can help feed the sheep and deer and even get up close to the Scottish Highland Cattle. If you’ve worked up an appetite, stroll to the charming old woolshed for morning or afternoon tea.
Then you’ll head to the amphitheatre, where you will watch the remarkable skill with which the farm dogs round up sheep from the paddocks. You may have time to stroll through the lakeside gardens before you re-board the TSS Earnslaw for your cruise back to Queenstown. Stop at the General store for a memorable souvenir.
