The Kelly Basin walk south of Queenstown is just one of the amazing walks in and around Queenstown. The trail follows beside a river and the reminiscence of an old civilization can be found hidden amongst the forest. The sheer beauty of Queenstown and its history is true testament to what humans can build or destroy. Queenstown is well worth a visit to find all these hidden hikes, walks and rock pools.

A nice walk through the forest. Would even recommend doing it in rain. Relaxing, easy and a very short walk.
4. King River Rafting
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 110 reviews
King River Rafting is Tasmania's one day white water rafting specialist. Usually based on Tasmania's west coast at Queenstown we mainly offer trips on the King River. With quality rapids, superb wilderness rainforest and assured water this is a quality trip. From the King River Gorge you can chose to catch the West Coast Wilderness Railway back to Queenstown or continue on down the more peacefull lower reaches of the river for a full day of wilderness rafting.
5. Eric Thomas Galley Museum

A good spot to spend an hour or more as there is a lot to see with 20? Rooms of photos and exhibits over 2 floors. Excellent if you are a history buff.

Horsetail Falls is located between Queenstown and Gormanston. The walk up to the viewing platform is nice. However, the secret is to keep going off the walkway on the hidden track to the top of the waterfall.
8. Mount Jukes

We went for a drive along Mount Jukes road from Queenstown, and it was worth the trip. The views were mind blowing from the lookout, with the mountains and the beautiful blue lake. That was definitely a WOW factor.
9. Queenstown Station

Reviewed By Y197XQalexh - Wedderburn, Australia
Railway station, free museum, gorgeous cafe and tourist information centre and tourist shop. Watch the old trains come in and be turned manually or better still, jump on board one and take a half day or a full day tour through rainforests with spectacular views OR raft one way down stream and catch the train back to the station. So many awesome options!
10. Spion Kop Lookout

A great little hike to a central high point in Queenstown. We love visiting the West Coast during Winter as the scenery changes. Nothing beats visits all the walks and hikes on the West Coast during cold or rainy days followed by a hot shower, coffee and a good book looking out at snow capped mountains.
