Million Dollar Cruise Queenstown
Take in the full 360-degree panorama of Queenstown’s most loved features — the Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu, the town, and beyond!
Highlights
- Experience Queenstown's best scenic sights
- Fabulous live commentary about the local area and more
- Vessel caters for all weather conditions
- Relax and enjoy a refreshing drink from our on board bar service
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.

The Perfect Trip
Troy and Bri provided the best trip we could have asked for. Initially we were gutted we missed out on the Earnslaw but we're so happy we did! Troy's commentary is funny and super interesting and the photo opportunity by the bridge in the Frankton Arm was a novelty. Loved the selfie by the way, Troy. The weather was spectacular too which made for a perfect trip.
From Million Dollar Cruise Queenstown
Kia Ora Rochelle, Thank you so much for the incredible review. We are so happy to hear that Troy and Bri were able to provide you with a perfect trip! We will be sure to pass along your kind words to them.

Cancelled 5 m before departure
Cruise was cancelled 5 min before departure due to technical problems. I could not book another one because it was too late.
From Million Dollar Cruise Queenstown
Sometimes these things happen Vadim so not sure why you think you can give us a 1 star when you haven't been on our trip. There weren't any other trips you could have gone on either. You actually sent me an email as I had advised you the day before that we would not be cruising so you are not actually telling the truth saying 5 minutes before. I also said that I would refund you immediately and you replied thanking me for being so prompt in organising the refund. So you need to take down this post as it is not correct. These ratings are for the trip only not a gripe when you did not come on it.

Missed out on cruise
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
From Million Dollar Cruise Queenstown
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.
