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

Great trip across the lake

Such a great experience, only did the boat trip across the lake and that was fantastic. Kids loved seeing the engine room and great sites across the shoreline as we sailed.

Great Piece of NZ History

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip with the kids on the TTS Earnslaw. Next time we would love to do the farm tour & BBQ dinner option. We checked out the steam engine viewing platform & mini museum at the front of the ship - we didn’t know this existed until this time around, as we spent most of the journey out on the front of the ship last time. Take a jacket as it can get quite breezy on the lake.
