Experience the magic of this geothermal landscape on a self-guided walk along the trail at Craters of the Moon.
Highlights
- Enjoy a self guided walk through this stunning landscape
- Watch the craters steaming with geothermal life
- An easy walk along wooden boardwalks and fine gravel suitable for the whole family
- Excellent views from the lookout
Take in the incredible sights of the bubbling mud pools and steaming craters as you walk through this other-worldly landscape.
Our well-maintained tracks are easy to follow and suitable for most people, the main walkway will take you on a 40-minute leisurely stroll through the valley and the optional 20-minute upper walkway will take you up the steps for fantastic views from the lookout.
Take your time, stop for photos and enjoy at your own pace.
Loop Track - Suitable for pushchairs. Wheelchairs are permitted but some areas of the path are more difficult to navigate than others. The path is mostly boardwalk but it is recommended that you have a person to assist in areas where there is a gravel path.
Upper Walkway - A moderate walk with multiple steps (totally worth it), not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs.

Spectacular!
A very special place, well maintained and great information along the way

Thank you for visiting, glad you enjoyed it.

Must do experience!
This is a stunning place to visit. The area definitely feels out of this world. The walk is easy, suited to all abilities. Give yourself an hour to enjoy it so that you can really take in all the scenery. The optional 15min extra lookout walk is worth doing too. The hill isn't too steep to walk up and gives even better views over the area.

Fun attraction
Fun walk of about an hour. Explains about how this area was created. The steamholes were ok to see. For us not that special. Pricing is fair for what you get.

Worth a visit
Super freundliches Personal und ein kleiner bequemer Spaziergang durch das geothermale Gelände. Den Souvenirshop mochte ich persönlich auch sehr. Lediglich gibt es keine Möglichkeit für Reisende ohne Auto zum Park zu kommen außer zu Fuß (was doch relativ weit ist) oder per Taxi. Das ist jedoch kein Minuspunkt für craters of the moon sondern für Taupo.
