Queenstown Cruise Map

Your 90-minute journey begins right from the Main Queenstown Jetty – in the heart of town. From the moment our classic 1975 Fiordlander departs, Lake Wakatipu opens up around you, with the Remarkables mountain range providing a dramatic backdrop and calm waters stretching ahead.

We glide past the Queenstown Gardens and along the Kelvin Heights Golf Course, home to the iconic goat statue, before cruising by Willow Island and the lakeside homes that line the Frankton Arm. You’ll pass the Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa and a stretch of local architecture best appreciated from the water, before reaching the historic Kawarau Falls Dam – where the lake meets the Kawarau River.

Few experiences take you this far into the Frankton Arm. Million Dollar Cruise is the only operator that regularly ventures to this peaceful, scenic corner of the lake. The return journey traces the opposite shoreline, offering fresh perspectives of Queenstown’s waterfront, quiet bays, and hidden corners – perfect for soaking up uninterrupted views, spotting wildlife, and capturing photos you won’t get anywhere else.
