What a wonderful 45 minutes walk just 5 minutes away by car from Taupo. I've never seen such an amazing place before with this hot steam coming out of the earth.

Craters of the Moon are a vast ocean of lava flows with scattered islands of cinder cones and sagebrush. We invite you to explore this “strange and picturesque landscape” where yesterday’s volcanic events are likely to continue tomorrow.
