Take a trip on the Earnslaw, Queenstown's historic steamship. Visit Walter Peak homestead on the other side of the lake for a farm tour, afternoon tea or a meal. This is a great trip for kids who like boats and engines as they can see the workings of the steamship in action. It is also good for history enthusiasts!
