Craters Of The Moon Geothermal Walk - Taupo
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.

Une ballade facile dans un paysage hors du commun
Chaque recoin de Craters of the Moon est fascinant, allant d'une piscine de boue à un cratère géant multicolore, en passant par une cheminée de gaz bruyante et des buissons survivants aux conditions locales. Staff au top, prix super abordable, ça vaut le détour !

Amazing thermal experience
Me and my partner really enjoyed our walk at the park, we loved how we could experience thermal activity from up close. Also an amazing team at moon crater, very attentive and friendly. Thank you.

Not as active as we thought
No longer as active as it was. Mud craters appear to be dried up. A few steamy bits. Other places e.g Waiotapu, etc. are much more active and better viewing. A long 1 hour walk for not a lot of activity. You can basically see it all from the viewing platform as you enter and save yourself the walk.

Mud and steam are dependent on the weather and as it is a natural attraction the landscape is always changing. Thank you for your review, perhaps try visiting us during the cooler winter months.
