Combine two thrilling adventures into one day on this 6-hour tour from Queenstown. First, get your adrenaline pumping as you try white water rafting and paddle past the waterfalls and rain forest of the King River Gorge.

The King River is located in Tasmania’s World Heritage-listed South West Wilderness. Its steep gorges and deep waters make it ideal for rafting, and this tour provides the guide, equipment, and know-how to zip down the river past rainforests, the Wilderness Railway, and relics of old mining operations. Plus, don’t worry about organizing a meal as your trip includes lunch.
