Lovely experience. We spent about 40 min each way on the cruise and gosh what stunning landscapes! We spent about an hour and a half on the farm and it was so nice - informative tour after which we fed lambs, goats, alpacas, cattle herd. Ended the evening with some tea and snacks. Top day in Queenstown!
