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.

Enjoyed the cruise
We loved the experience. The Captain and the crew were wonderful. Captain even took our photos and let my daughter be the captain as well. The cruise itself is very beautiful. They had blankets for everyone as well. Will definitely do this again and would recommend everyone to try it.

Lovely cruise
Skipper was knowledgeable and informative and made every effort to stop the boat so we could get excellent photos and even took photos of our family with a lovely mountain backdrop

Beautiful!!! A definite recommendation!
We went with 4pm cruise with Dan. The views were incredible and a bonus having the sun set on the remarkables at the end. Dan is a great host, loved that the facts shared during the cruise and that he included the origin names of maunga in Te Reo. A lovely way to wind down with your partner or make memories with your family. We had our 3 year old and she loved it.
