如果计划去米佛峡湾建议不安排此项目

喜欢机械的人员可能会更喜欢,但和米佛峡湾比起来,这趟行程的景观就逊色很多

悠閒的下午時光

船員服務態度都很好,船上空間都能走走晃晃,還有一位鋼琴師演奏,十分愜意,但如果是買到的時段有很多跟團的人,就會覺得擁擠與吵雜,天氣好外面的湖景非常好拍,也能清楚看到蒸氣船內部營運結構,非常適合對機械有興趣的人

TSS Earnslaw

We’ve been to Queenstown many times and we always take a trip on the TSS Earnslaw - whatever the weather it’s always stunning!

Great Experience and well worth doing

Great Experience and well worth doing, just being able to walk around the boat and see the steam engine in action and the poor man shoveling the coal into the burner in that heat what a job to have, plus the museum with great photos and history enfo aboard, it is something I'll always remember and suggest people do going there. Only bummer was when getting to the historic house we didn't know about being able to stay and have a BBQ buffet at the house if had purchased the ticket for it. not sure if was noted on the bookme sight or i missed it but still cant find a option for purchase on here with meal, but I would still differently do again if go back to Queenstown
