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.

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

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the cruise with us.

挺不错的一次经历

这条船走的路线和蒸汽船走的方向是相反的,景色也不错。船长一路讲解,时不时发出特有的笑声。如果听不懂英文也没有关系,船上提供了一个iPod,里面有中文讲解,只不过我想船长的解说可能会根据当时的情形会有灵活的补充,而录音是定式的,不过有总比没有好

From Million Dollar Cruise Queenstown

Hi Xiaopeng, Thank you for your review and yes the Captain does sometime deviate from the original commentary but as you say it gives you a good idea of what you are viewing and it is better than nothing. There are probably more up to date ways to deliver a commentary in different languages which we will look into in the future. But pleased you enjoyed your trip Xiaopeng. Thanks Betty

皇后镇最浪漫的活动

在Bookme预定的这个活动,25纽币一人,自登上这艘游艇,船长就在不停地介绍沿岸的风景,皇后镇水上秋景画卷般展开....,美极好!
