Million Dollar Cruise Queenstown
Take in the full 360-degree panorama of Queenstown’s most loved features — the Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu, the town, and beyond!
Highlights
- Experience Queenstown's best scenic sights
- Fabulous live commentary about the local area and more
- Vessel caters for all weather conditions

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.

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..
From Million Dollar Cruise Queenstown
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.

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

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....
