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.

Enttäuschend

Anstatt den See mit dem tollen Landschaft entlang zu fahren, sind wir nur in der Nähe der Stadt gefahren.Man hat ein paar Wohngebiete gesehen, mehr nicht. Langweilig und das Geld nicht wert.

Really Chris, perhaps you couldn't understand the commentary as we tell you lots of stories about Queenstown and the surrounding areas. when you read all our 5 star reviews its hard to imagine what you were after. You could have gone across the lake on another cruise but the feedback from that is that it is very boring as it s the same old same old. Perhaps you should have gone on the jetboat. So that is just your opinion.

Sehr entspannte, informative und nette Bootstour!

Die 90-minütige Tour über den Lake Wakatipu ist sehr informativ und aufschlusserich über die Historie und Geographie in der Region um Queenstown! Der Kapitän war super nett und lustig, insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen die Tour! Perfekt wäre es, würde es noch Kaffee auf dem Boot geben... :)
