Craters of the Moon

Volcanic activity, the power of earth’s energy is very evident at lunar Craters of the Moon. Stunted vegetation, silica licked earth and boiling mud make for a great place to take kids. Their imagination is captivated by the sheer stark contrast between the Crater landscape and the lush NZ bush. The area is wheelchair accessible meaning children in buggies can be easily transported without parents arms getting tired carrying toddlers. Watch for steam pouring from vents in the earth and observe the buckling of the boardwalks as unexpected steam makes its appearance.
