Attrape-touristes total !

"Croisière" très chère pour l'intérêt présenté. Rien à voir, hormis des maisons d'architectes sur la rive ! 90 minutes à voguer sur le lac, avec le bruit du moteur qui couvre les commentaires de l'animateur/capitaine. Intéressant au possible. On se moque du monde, je pense....

Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your tour with us Marie-Chantal. The weather here in Queenstown isn't always predictable so sometimes our visibility is restricted. We've recently refurbished our PA system to improve audibility of the skipper's commentary. Thank you for taking the time to review us, we're always working to improve!

Tour de bateau

Juste une petite escapade à Frankton très lente. C'est un tour de bateau grand touriste. Ammateurs de paysages s'abstenire..

I am presuming you cannot speak English so you didnt even get the hear our great commentary telling you all about the area. Obviously you did not see our wild trout, rare birds other birdlife, historic dam and willow islands and never heard the stories of our they came to be, and all the fabulous homes or get your photo taken down at the Remarkables. We pride ourselves on our kiwi hospitality, trying not to make it "a big tourist boat ride" Lots of people get off thinking they are part of our family as we do our very best to make everyone really welcome.

Sympathique

Croisière sympathique sous le soleil. Le capitaine du bateau s’arrete Aux endroits importants pour que l’on puisse prendre des photos. Les explications données sont intéressantes

Croisière agreable

Petite croisière de 1h30 sur le lac de Queenstown. Les informations données par le guide sont intéressantes, et il est agréable de se laisser porter en prenant quelques photos par-ci par-là. Une sortie touristique qui n'est pas indispensable mais qui a quand même son petit charme

Negative

The cruise was good, but the staff was not so much. The operator of the boat/cruise was firstly rude regarding our kids, upon booking the tickets it was stated that child tickets were for 5 years old and over and 0-4 were Free. On my booking, I did inform them we will have 4 kids - all 4 and under. Tickets said 4 adults and 4 infants, but the operator while letting us on said so loudly aren't our kids way too old to be infants as if we were sneaking on older kids, everyone looked and it was embarrassing! Does he not know their pricing plan? Plus was rude regarding us bringing a pizza onboard saying don't take it inside because it'll stink up the boat, we were already informed nicely which part of the boat is food friendly but the operator just ruined the whole experience for us.

I must apologise for that - no excuse but the captain had been having terrible problems with children on the boat and I think he is just getting over it. I know some children look much older than they are and there is no excuse for him being so rude. He is basically retired now as has been doing it for 15 years and his patience is wearing thin.!!!
