Highlights

  • Experience Queenstown's best scenic sights
  • Fabulous live commentary about the local area and more
  • Vessel caters for all weather conditions
  • Relax and enjoy a refreshing drink from our on board bar service

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.

Nice motel

方便、整潔、床很舒適、廚房設備完善、沖涼熱水足夠、有泊車位,方便泊好車徒步去Queenstown center 食飯行街、暖氣充足,每間房及客廳都有暖爐,有共用露台,面向湖景。wifi順暢,床亦有電暖毯。雖然房間外觀較舊,但整體很滿意,下次有機會會再入住

最便宜的游船

性价比很高 应该是湖上最便宜的观光船 跟蒸汽船是两个方向 看的居民区也更多一点 我觉得还应该考虑买蒸汽船 那边景色更好 大多为自然景色 当然价格也贵不少
