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.

Nice walk in beautiful landscape
There were only a few people there with me at 10 in the morning. I liked the view and the possibility to walk 15 minutes extra to see more. I would recommend it, especially with kinds.

Worth a look
Slightly different landscape to other parks we visited. Easy walk for the most part but hot ! One very steep path to a great view from the top is optional. Good value for the price.

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.
