Love it. Great walk, lots of interesting information to learn why and how. Amazing experience to feel warmth, smell steam and hear bubbling steam/water. One higher place was really loud. Great experience. During our visit was raining but we still decided to do it. Worth it!!! Took us approx 40 min. Lots of stops.

Very easy walk along a well signed boardwalk for most of the way. Dangerous areas are fenced off for additional safety. Child and stroller friendly. Information signs dotted along the way are interesting and informative. Locals can get in for a fraction of the price so long as up to date proof of residency is produced.

Great walk, with excellent information about what you see along the way. Interesting and educational. Good views over Taupo if you take the steep climb along the top. And the gift shop provides a good range of drinks and snacks, as well as souvenirs. And amazingly inexpensive! It is hot, so would recommend taking some water along, especially for kids. The main track is relatively easy going.

A very nice thermal experience. We arrived at a large car park and then bought our ticket in reception. The fee was reasonable with NZD 10 per adult. We started the walk along a well marked footpath with a lot of interesting signposts along the various thermal sights. It was a nice leisurely walk over the crater landscape passing various mud pools and areas with smoke coming out the ground. There is not too much activity but is a very nice landscape and a leisurely walk.

A great experience. Myself , two other adults and a child aged 6 . A geo thermal walk you can follow at your own pace. Sticking to the wooden and gravel paths is imperative. So definitely keep an eye on young children. Some loops are optional for those that don't want to do full route. Benches fitted about if you need to rest. Lovely gift shop and polite friendly staff. Definitely an experience not to miss.

Staff are lovely, paths are great well maintained. But overall I was a bit disappointed I know this is a natural creation and not much can be done, but it just felt like a walk with some steam coming out of the ground. Not worth the entry fee in my opinion.

Sure, you don't see steam coming out of the ground everyday (unless you're in New York... New Yorkers will know what I mean), but as a tourist destination this is unique however not spectacular. I read quite a few reviews on this location and agree that the locations such as Waiotapu and Te Puia are far far superior to this place. It was a pleasant 45 minute loop walk and you learn about some history and geothermal information. But if you really want to be amazed and in awe of the area, then don;t come here.

This is a great little walk around the Craters of the moon. It took us around 40mins on the track. Well sign posted with very interesting facts about the hot areas and how this came to be. It costs $10 per person - the weather was perfect - sunny and warm. Interestingly, I was expecting that sulphur smell of rotten eggs - but there was no aroma at all..

If you have spare time to fill in and you are not going to Rotarua then this might be interesting, having already seen lots of thermal activity this was a bit of a damp squib. The track is interesting for the walking public but having been taken round the track in a wheelchair my suggestion would be that I would NOT advise it for wheelchairs, tough for the person sitting down and tough and very hard work for the pusher too. Very hard work

It was a nice experience with some good information on all the flora & fauna around tge geothermal areas. Considering the price, it was a good value for money. It can be quite a walk if traveling with young kids.
