Take in the full 360-degree panorama of Queenstown’s most loved features — the Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu, the town, and beyond!
There’s something quietly unforgettable about seeing Queenstown from the water. The Remarkables rising around you, the lake stretching out in every direction, and a moment of calm to take it all in. Million Dollar Cruise brings that feeling to life — a 90-minute journey through Queenstown’s most iconic scenery, hosted by a local crew who make you feel like part of the story.
Departing right from the main jetty in town, this classic boat cruise is relaxed, scenic, and refreshingly personal. With smaller groups, uninterrupted 360-degree views, and warm, genuine commentary, it’s a hidden gem that slips easily into your day — and lingers in your memory long after.
You’ll cruise past the Remarkables, historic homes, secluded bays, and the ever-changing face of the town — all from the comfort of a locally owned vessel with a story of its own. There’s a fully licensed bar onboard, friendly faces at the helm, and no crowds or pressure — just time to take it all in.
This is one of Queenstown’s best-value experiences. A scenic cruise that’s simple, soulful, and quietly unforgettable.

It was a beautiful day, we had friendly crew who were more than willing to help. The commentaries along the way was great. The crew had a good sense of humour. Highly recommend this cruise.
Absolutely brilliant experience with Troy and Emily, if I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Lovely, modern vessel with good amenities on board; excellent, entertaining commentary; fabulous service, and the highlight for us was my son (10) being allowed to "drive" the boat! It made his year, and Troy & Emily were both so wonderful with him, so appreciated!
Kia Ora, Emma! Emily here :) Thank you so much for your lovely review - we're so glad you all had a great time! It brought both Troy and I a lot of joy to see how happy Flynn was to be on board and behind the wheel. Hope the rest of birthday weekend was just as spectacular - safe travels home! -Emily
Unfortunately we couldn’t take this trip on Sunday 30 April. I ended up in hospital . I know there was no change, on these book me trips but under the circumstances is there any chance we can use this voucher in the next 10 days anytime, while we are still in Queenstown. We are so disappointed Thank you Raymond Bailey
Of course you can but why did you give us a one star do you not know that it affects our rating. Can you please take it down. I will print off your booking voucher and let my staff know. Perhaps you could phone us when you could come. (03) 4429770.

Kia Ora Karen, Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cruise and that our team made it a great experience from start to finish. We truly appreciate the recommendation!

Best captain commentary
Really helpful staff. Captain Troy was very knowledgeable and knew the history well. The rest of the staff were very helpful especially with my dad who was on a wheelchair. Highly recommended
