$307.70

At King River Rafting we are proud to be bronze medal winners in the 2019 Tasmanian Tourism Awards.

The King River Gorge Raft and Steam Experience is a collaborative adventure between King River Rafting and the West Coast Wilderness Railway combining the thrill of white water rafting with a return steam train ride.

Raft through 7km of the King River Gorge’s exciting rapids from Newall Creek to Dubbil Barril passing through a remote rainforest gorge. It’s an awesome and exciting day rafting in the wilderness.

The return steam train ride takes us over a steep ridge using the rack and pinion Abt system to move the train out of the gorge and safely down the other side. Homeward bound the train stops at Rinadeena a water stop for the train and coffee for us and again at Lynchford. The last stop is Queenstown where our tour ends.
