Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car within Kosciuszko National Park, start by heading towards the town of Jindabyne. From Jindabyne, take the Kosciuszko Road (B22) toward Thredbo. Continue on Kosciuszko Road for approximately 24 kilometers until you reach the intersection with the Alpine Way. Turn left onto the Alpine Way and continue for about 12 kilometers until you see signs for the various parking areas. Once you reach the vicinity of Collingwood Bay, you may need to park in one of the designated areas and take a walking path to the bay itself, as direct access may be limited.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Collingwood Bay using public transportation, catch a bus from Jindabyne to Thredbo. The bus service operates seasonally, so check the timetable in advance. From Thredbo, you will need to take a taxi or a rideshare service to get to the nearest access point for Collingwood Bay, as there are no direct public transport options to the bay. Be prepared for potential taxi fares which can vary, so budget accordingly.

• Walking

  Once you have parked your vehicle or arrived via taxi, you may need to walk to Collingwood Bay. Look for trail markers or signs that indicate the walking paths leading to the bay. The walking trails can vary in difficulty; ensure you are wearing appropriate footwear and have a map or a GPS device to help navigate the paths. The walking distance from the nearest parking area may vary from 1 to 3 kilometers, depending on where you park.
