Great Experience and well worth doing
Great Experience and well worth doing, just being able to walk around the boat and see the steam engine in action and the poor man shoveling the coal into the burner in that heat what a job to have, plus the museum with great photos and history enfo aboard, it is something I'll always remember and suggest people do going there. Only bummer was when getting to the historic house we didn't know about being able to stay and have a BBQ buffet at the house if had purchased the ticket for it. not sure if was noted on the bookme sight or i missed it but still cant find a option for purchase on here with meal, but I would still differently do again if go back to Queenstown

Great Piece of NZ History
Thoroughly enjoyed our trip with the kids on the TTS Earnslaw. Next time we would love to do the farm tour & BBQ dinner option. We checked out the steam engine viewing platform & mini museum at the front of the ship - we didn’t know this existed until this time around, as we spent most of the journey out on the front of the ship last time. Take a jacket as it can get quite breezy on the lake.
