Time Tripper Under Water Experience

Hold on to your seats, we’re going back to the beginning on a journey through legend and time.

Queenstown’s only underwater experience takes you on a journey through time and legend beginning many millions of years ago. Travel back to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth and learn about how Lake Wakatipu was carved out by a giant glacier, all from the comfort of your rumbling seat.

Head down two flights of stairs under Lake Wakatipu into our underwater theatre. As you wait for the next time jump window to open, you’ll get to see the beautiful love story and Māori Legend of Lake Wakatipu.

Your time travel pilot will guide you back 90 million years, through the time of the dinosaurs, take you to when New Zealand was formed and fly you deep into the earth when the Southern Alps were created.

Then experience 15 minutes of underwater viewing where we feed the famous diving ducks, slinky eels and rainbow & brown trout that lie beneath.
