West Coast Wilderness Railway

Embark on an extraordinary journey through the rainforest and mountains of Tasmania's rugged west coast.

On this four hour River and Rainforest Tour, you'll cross historic bridges, including Iron Bridge, and see the remains of the 244 metre trestle bridge at Quarter Mile. You'll get the chance to visit some of the remote stations along the line and take a walk in the rainforest, while tasting wild leatherwood honey. Your guide will share the stories of the railway and the resilient people who lived and worked along its length, from the men who laboured to build the line and keep the trains running to the families and children that made a life in the forest, and the two visionary Irishmen whose fierce rivalry and undaunted ambition brought the railway to life. For an even more immersive experience, you can take the full day Queenstown Explorer which will take you all the way along the 35km track to the historic mining town then back to Strahan, with sightseeing stops along the way.
