This was totally different from the normal "tourist experience", & was a lot of fun. Fantastic operator with great commentary, and it was a lovely way to see the Clutha River. Reminiscent of the punt scene in Outlaw Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood) for those who like classic movies!

Travelled from Queenstown to the Hilton early in the morning and walked back to Queenstown. This was a great way to fill in some of the day. The trip in the water taxi was great. We were the only 2 on board this trip and the skipper was very informative. This is a great, inexpensive way to view Queenstown and surrounding area from the lake. WELL WORTH THE JOURNEY.

This is the best bargain in Queenstown - for just $9 you get a fast ferry ride out of Queenstown, around the point, then down the far end of the Frankton Arm to the Hilton. It's effectively subsidised public transport, but it's a great way to enjoy a cruise on the lake, and then a lovely walk back, for an absolute bargain. The trip leaves from just in front of the embarkation point for the steamer, is fast, fun and has great views of the town and then down the arm. Stop at the Hilton for lunch and get the next ferry back, or, do as we did and walk back - it's flat, has some lovely views, and the Boatshed Cafe at Frankton Marina makes a great half way stop for lunch. You can just turn up, but as numbers are limited, best to book, as they have no capacity to run extra services. And note, this is now a sperate service to Queenstown Water Taxis, which will do the same run for $50, but does have the advantage of being flexible with times and numbers, as it is a taxi, rather than ferry service.
