Craters Of The Moon Geothermal Walk - Taupo

Stephanie Tam said... The fumeroles and craters are astonishing to see and the initial view at the kiosk does not do them justice. It is only upon walking through the grounds that it's apparent how geothermally active the area is, and there is lots of information about the history and impact of the geothermal power scheme. I spent 2 hours wandering the grounds, and there weren't that many other tourists so I could take my time comfortably. The raised walkways are well maintained and there are maps detailing the one-way direction that visitors should take. Although you can see similar fumeroles for free in Rotorua, the large craters and topography set Craters of the Moon apart. Note that there isn't a ticketing system for entry and the fee is treated more like a donation to the trust supporting this reserve.

Extensive historic reserve that is well laid out

Experience the magic of this geothermal landscape on a self-guided walk along the trail at Craters of the Moon.
