What you can expect
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.
