One of the best walks we have done in Tasmania. It is about 30 minutes one way from the car park to the top of the fall, however you only need to walk about 10-15 minutes to get a good look of the fall. The trail is well maintained and generally flat. We went during rainy season so the water volume is higher than usual. I highly recommend walking to the top of the waterfall, as you we get a really scenic view of the creek running through the highlands, shadowed by the breathtaking Mount Owen.

A short walk that would suit small children to the elderly well maintained paths to the falls with a viewing platform, walk will take approximately 20/30 minutes one way there are various other walks that can take you to the top of the mountain range, these walks are not for children or the elderly though. Would highly recommend stopping by & taking this walk in, great views that overlook Queenstown itself plenty of parking @ the base, unfortunately there are no toilets on site.

The falls were somewhat small when we we there - I guess it's a lot better after it rains. Still worth a stop because of the rocks in the hills - different colours and shapes, rocks within rocks, very interesting. The walkway is great, the views across the valley are good. If you walk towards the end of the walkway you've look across the valley you can see Queenstown airstrip. Worth a look, enjoyed the walk.

A short 20min walk return with, a slight incline and a few steps. Unfortunately, we had showers and cloud cover which made it hard to get a clear view of the falls. The walkway is well-maintained and there is a large viewing platform and a good size car park but no toilets. As someone else mentioned it would be better if the platform was situated closer to the falls.

It's a walkers paradise and I really appreciate the authorities to make this long walk so easy. Forget about the falls, you will love the walkway towards the fall. As the saying goes, it is not the destination but the journey. Both Iron Blow Lookout and Horsetail Falls are must see attraction if you are passing by the highway.

Was a nice unexpected surprise to come across these falls as we drove out of Queenstown. Well maintained steps in place to make the walk much easier getting to the top. Easy to pull in and park from the main Rd. You only need around half an hour to walk up, take in the views and walk back to your car
