There is only one way to approach this waterfall - walk the Milford Track (only DOC individual walks and guided walks are available. DOC huts must be booked in advance). You need to organize a transport to Te Anau Downs where the track starts; then a transport from Milford Sound where the track finishes. Transport can be easily booked as part of Milford Track booking via official DOC site.
Mackay Falls is approached on the fourth day of the journey, but there are other waterfalls which are accessible along Milford Track. Mackay Falls is the first waterfall which you see on the 4th day of the track. Only 1-1.5 hours' easy walk from Dumpling Hut or 2 minutes' walk from Boatshed Hut (Guided tours), then you cross a swing bridge and see a sign 'Mackey Falls'. Follow an easy side track for 1 minute and enjoy the view of the waterfall from the viewing platform.
