The Chasm is roughly a 2-hours’ drive away from Te Anau, or 4-hours’ from Queenstown, or just 15-minutes’ from the famous Milford Sound. The road surface is always sealed.

From Te Anau follow Milford Road (SH94), one of the most scenic and 'Waterfalls' road in New Zealand, then drive through the Hommer Tunnel, and continue on SH94 for 7.5 more kilometers. The carpark, which is well signposted, is on your left. There are no any facilities there.

An easy 20-minutes return walk follows the Cleddau River and leads to the Chasm viewing bridges. There are two bridges at the end of the track offering you a relatively good view of the waterfall and a gorge. Unfortunately, the bridges have been constructed in such a way that it’s almost impossible to take a waterfall’s photo.

Despite that the photograph is difficult, the walk, surrounded by mountains, is very enjoyable and suitable for people of all abilities, including a wheelchair and kids strollers.
