Take in the full 360-degree panorama of Queenstown’s most loved features — the Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu, the town, and beyond!
There’s something quietly unforgettable about seeing Queenstown from the water. The Remarkables rising around you, the lake stretching out in every direction, and a moment of calm to take it all in. Million Dollar Cruise brings that feeling to life — a 90-minute journey through Queenstown’s most iconic scenery, hosted by a local crew who make you feel like part of the story.
Departing right from the main jetty in town, this classic boat cruise is relaxed, scenic, and refreshingly personal. With smaller groups, uninterrupted 360-degree views, and warm, genuine commentary, it’s a hidden gem that slips easily into your day — and lingers in your memory long after.
You’ll cruise past the Remarkables, historic homes, secluded bays, and the ever-changing face of the town — all from the comfort of a locally owned vessel with a story of its own. There’s a fully licensed bar onboard, friendly faces at the helm, and no crowds or pressure — just time to take it all in.
This is one of Queenstown’s best-value experiences. A scenic cruise that’s simple, soulful, and quietly unforgettable.

Kia ora Ruth, Thanks for the lovely review, we are so glad you enjoyed the experience!
I didn't end up going on the lake cruise, it was all go I paid for parking and showed up to go on the cruise and the lady that organises it told us there wasn't enough people coming to go on the cruise so it might be cancelled but there was a group either coming that day or tomorrow and the person that answered the phone didn't get any of their details and it could be a single person or a group, the woman told us to wait another 15 mins to see if the other party was coming then the time kept being extended, we were being mucked around and felt like it was very unorganized, It took a while to get a refund and I know I wouldn't get back the $11.50 I paid for parking, having the courtesy to call us beforehand and possibly cancel it straight away would've been a better idea
I would have thought in these tough times you would be a bit more understanding C Brooks - we usually wait til the last 5 minutes to see if anyone else turns up as times are really quiet which I'm sure you are aware of. Sometimes people that are meant to be coming just don't turn up which is out of our hands. I am more than happy to put the $11.50 into your bank account if you want to send it to my email [email protected] I will put it in straight away, not a problem.!!
Unfortunately we couldn’t take this trip on Sunday 30 April. I ended up in hospital . I know there was no change, on these book me trips but under the circumstances is there any chance we can use this voucher in the next 10 days anytime, while we are still in Queenstown. We are so disappointed Thank you Raymond Bailey
Of course you can but why did you give us a one star do you not know that it affects our rating. Can you please take it down. I will print off your booking voucher and let my staff know. Perhaps you could phone us when you could come. (03) 4429770.

I really enjoyed this cruise. The views were beautiful. The skipper was great. I had a turn steering the boat.
