Description
Step aboard the modern Spirit of Queenstown catamaran and cruise across Lake Wakatipu for a unique high-country experience at Walter Peak Farm. This relaxed and interactive Queenstown farm tour is ideal for families, animal lovers and anyone curious about New Zealand's fascinating farming traditions.
Your journey begins in central Queenstown, where you’ll board the Spirit of Queenstown for a scenic 45-minute lake cruise. On arrival at Walter Peak High Country Farm, your guide will take you on a tour of the farmyard. Meet and feed a range of friendly farm animals, including sheep, deer, cows and alpacas. You'll also enjoy a sheepdog demonstration in the outdoor amphitheatre, where you can watch some of Walter Peak's working dogs showing off their talents at rounding up sheep.
After exploring the Walter Peak Farm on your tour, it's time to visit the historic woolshed for freshly-baked afternoon tea. Tuck into scones, cakes and slices served with your choice of hot drinks.
