Nice way to spend part of an afternoon on the water. Captain shared a lot of info as we sailed. The top deck was nice but if it’s cold I’d recommend taking a seat on the inside or back of the boat so you have some protection from the wind.

Well worth the trip, even on a rainy day. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The perfect addition to a day trip and to take in some of the sights of Queenstown. The floating bar moored next door is also the best spot for amazing cocktails with an incredible view.
Nice Cruise

A nice cruise but alas we could hardly hear Eddie the Skipper and we were sat under a speaker - not his fault as there were too many noisey passengers and unruly children on board (despite it be a school day). We let Eddie know our feedback as we left the boat.

Our experience on the Million Dollar cruise..was just that
a million dollars!!!
We were informed, educated and entertained during our whole cruise.
The captain was absolutley wonderful. He certainly knows his stuff.
He was very trusting of people in general especially how the 'help yourself' service for snacks and drinks were made available.
I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
Relaxing Cruise

Lovely cruise, friendly staff. Only issue was the lack of safety info in case of problems. Other than that a very relaxing afternoon activity.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hi Sally, All our captains give you a safety briefing at the start of each cruise telling you where the lifejackets are and that you are to listen to his instructions in case of a emergency. Also telling you how to come down the stairs from the upstairs deck. There is not much more to tell you. Good to hear you did enjoy the cruise though.
A brilliant cruise and Captain!

An Amazing Way to Relax on a Warm and Sunny Day in Queenstown

The Million Dollar Cruise was probably the highlight of my trip to Queenstown. It was so relaxing and informative. I went on a perfect day. It was so bright and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The captain Matt was an awesome host, very friendly and humerous and gave an excellent and very educational commentary throughout the entire duration of the cruise. Would definitely recommend doing this and I am definitely doing it again when I come back.
The BEST boat tour in Queenstown

Captain Wayne and his wife Betty are lovely. This is the best boat tour in Queenstown BY FAR! Very reasonable price per person and learnt alot about Queenstown and the surrounding area. Captain Wayne is super funny and so friendly and his wife Betty is lovely also, and such a friendly greeting at the ticket office. For anyone visiting Queenstown, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Thanks so much to Wayne and Betty.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
