Upon arriving in Queenstown, you will need to arrange a taxi or rideshare to take you to the Lake St Clair National Park entrance (approximately 20 km away). Taxis may be limited, so it's advisable to book in advance. Once at the park, the D’Alton Falls track starts from the main car park. Be mindful of the park entry fee of around AUD $10 per vehicle; check if your taxi driver can assist with this.
