Small Groups, Guaranteed

Unlike other Queenstown farm experiences where you’re one of a big crowd, we cap every show at 20 guests, so it stays intimate, hands-on and personal. You’re not standing at the back watching, you’re part of the action.

Set on Historic Kingston Station

Your experience takes place on Kingston Station, a 22,000 acre sheep and beef farm rich in history, knowledge and real working farm culture. Our farming hosts share genuine insight into station life, livestock, land management and the realities of modern farming.

No Car? No Problem

If you don’t have transport, book our Queenstown to Real Country experience instead. Return transport from central Queenstown is included, so all you need to do is show up.

What Our Guests Say

★★★★★

“We were completely blown away. Laura shared her backstory with us which we found to be so authentic and relatable to so many of us in today’s world. She was patient, funny and instructive. Her knowledge of her craft was approachable and we didn’t want to leave. Logan was legit. He taught us about what it means to work with these amazing dogs every day and we could really feel the bond between these two working side by side. They taught us and let us work with the dogs to herd the sheep. It was awesome. The bullwhip lessons were a different story, but still so fun. If you have ever watched an episode of Yellowstone or just have a passion for beautiful open spaces of land and amazing animals, you need to have this experience. Trust us.”
