Good trip in a great old boat. The best buffet meal I’ve ever had. All of the meat was barbecued to perfection and the accompaniments were amazing.

An amazing experience! To see the only steamship in the southern hemisphere working in one of the most beautiful places on earth was simply spectacular. We chose the BBQ dinner option, and they were amazing. I am coeliac GF, so they got me up and serving myself first so there was no cross contamination. They had SO MANY OPTIONS too. It was also our honeymoon, so they set up a table in the corner with the best views, with a white table cloth, some flowers and a little sign that said "Honeymoon Table". It was just so gorgeous!

Buffet was a little disappointing , no seafood at all I guess the photos are from a much earlier time . Desserts were also disappointing no crème brûlée. I guess you should not rely on photos. The roasts are very nice. But sad that I bought based on photo reviews

We brought our toddler (2.5 year old) on this tour and he had an absolute blast (as did we)! He loved being able to see the inner works of the ship, and had a particularly great time feeding all animals at the farm. He enjoyed interacting with farmer Quinn and his dog, Kim. The ship had plenty of room for him to move around, as did the farm. There was lots of to keep him engaged. The tour was very well organised and all the amenities/food options/staff were exceptional. A heads up that arriving 30 minutes prior to boarding, as suggested on the website, meant we were towards the end of line to get in, so allow more time. All around, a great experience!
