Nice easy walk. We went on a rainy summer day and the steam was rising everywhere. The craters are incredible, steamy and noisy. Not much mud though. But really enjoyed the 45 min walk. Great price and friendly staff.

Easy to find off the thermal highway and with plentiful parking, Craters of the the moon is must visit place. Whilst we went on a hot, dry day it meant all the mud pools were dry and not bubbling, you could still hear them under the surface of the earth, incredible. Steaming jetting out quite loudly in some areas was fabulous. The wooden walk ways are easy to navigate and the standard walk takes about 30 - 45 min casual walk stopping every so often to read an information sign or take a photo. Well worth the $8.

After the first 5 minutes walk you have seen it all. Same all the way. They could do well by adding little extras along the walk. Like a colourful picture or photo opportunity. Then to crown it all the staff were very very clear about not being late as they have the end year function. Not very touristy overall.

A nice little stop to see some geothermal activity up close. A very easy walk (except for the additional walk you could take which was a little steep). Smell wasn’t too bad compared to some other geothermal locations. The price is hard to beat as well. The signage around the walk was also interesting and helpful.

Bit of a rainy day which was good in a way as the place was pretty much deserted. Easy to get photos that looked like you were the only one there. For $8 a cheep hour walk on well formed boardwalks and tracks. Pity inconsiderate people insist on throwing rubbish into the craters.

A great place to visit and witness the steam from the earth. It's a good stretch of walk. $8 per adult for the entrance and we walk through marked walkways and most of them are wooden pathways and beautiful placed. We had a great experience visiting this place and might go back with friends in the future.

Great place to visit. Knew nothing about this place till we got there and with the name craters of the moon thought it might be a bit of a side show. But the opposite very interesting apparently they are all volunteers you see the result of vulcanic action from below the surface. It's 8 Dollars to get in but well worth it.

That is a very nice way to spend an hour. You see quit done nice thermal pools and interesting landscape. I wouldn't drive there just to see this though but when you have time it's a bit so expensive option.

A gentle stroll through a cratered landscape, vapour rising from various craters. There's not much more to it, but it's beautiful and worth the entry fee. If you can, do go up the steeper track to the viewpoint, clearly marked, for even better views out over the park.

Average geothermal Park, has nice walkways and good signage for you to follow. Not a hard walk to see the sights, a lot of the thermal area is basic and not overly active. The rest amenities are good and clean, a huge open area with good lookout points along the way.

Quite a good exposure to steams and volcanic mud pools with an entrance fee of $8. Suggests that the bushes at the lookout points should be trimmed for a better view. Nicely built walkways to go around the area.

Great walking trail. Thermal activity isn't dramatic, but definitely worth a look. Take the loop to the lookout for a nice view of the site and surroundings.

Justin Fry | Jun 23, 2018

Awesome place. Nicely peaceful walk with plenty of action. Probably the best 8 bucks spent in New Zealand.. Hahaha. Definitely worth a visit.

Need about 1 hours to walk a circle in the park. The park is well maintained and the staffs are friendly. Worth a visit here!

Been here several times and always enjoy coming back and seeing the improvements. Staff are wonderful and helpful. The amenities are clean and the tracks well maintained. People in wheelchairs or with prams can do the full loop (minus the lookout which has steps). It's not an explosive thermal zone; however, it's a soothing meander around craters of varying sizes - from massive sink holes roaring their fumes to small holes the size of your arm, all enclosed by the hardy, low lying shrubbery. The low entry price just adds to its allure. (I wish they were all this price!) Highly recommend!

You can walk around similar areas for free but this one has a lot of steaming holes and bubbling mud pools in one area making it wonderfully atmospheric. It's cheap and charity run, well worth a detour. They also do $2 coffee in the shop which is handy (you can drink it as you walk round) and the gift shop seemed to be good value for money.

Chris Galvin | Jul 30, 2018

Excellent value and stunning walk. I loved all the thermal activity. I haven't been in many years, very pleased we went.

Sebastiaan Joosten | Jul 9, 2018

Very lovely walk and totally worth the price. Super mystical place. The board walks are nice and wide and it's all well sign posted with good explanations of what's going on.

Ash Nankervis | Jul 19, 2018

Definitely not blow your mind thermal area but for once it was reasonably priced and a really nice walk! Would recommend if you’re not wanting to pay $40+ to see some boiling mud and water
