TSS Earnslaw Cruise & Walter Peak Horse Trek

Unwind on a scenic horse trek through Queenstown’s stunning scenery at Walter Peak High Country Farm.

Your time in the saddle starts with some time onboard. Take a Lake Whakatipu cruise on the historic TSS Earnslaw to disembark at Walter Peak High Country Farm before meeting your horse and guide.

This experienced guide will take you on a horse trek across rolling high country farmland to a lookout offering spectacular views of Lake Whakatipu and the surrounding mountains. The riding is easy, the scenery incredible and the memories enduring. Great family fun, this trip is more suited to first-time or novice riders.

After returning to the stables you’ll enjoy a delicious morning or afternoon tea at the Colonel’s Homestead Restaurant. Then it’s time to explore the glorious gardens and farmyard before heading back to Queenstown on board the TSS Earnslaw, our iconic vintage steamship providing the perfect relaxing end to an exciting trip.
