点评:We saw four of the geothermal sites between Taupo and Rotorua. Craters of the Moon, closest to Taupo, was the first. It can easily be seen in conjunction with Huka Falls. I particularly appreciated the 9:30 am opening (earlier than most) which made visiting very easy, the lower prices and the senior discount even for overseas travellers. It had excellent explanatory boards including about botantical issues.
While more low key than the other thermal parks we saw later this day and on the next, it had its own charm, aside from being value for money. The walk takes about 45 minutes along a flat well-signposted path with a 15 min diversion for a lookout ridge track. There are multiple craters (a couple which are mud) with good viewpoints and everywhere on the walk you can see the steaming from them.
Particularly if you are in Taupo this is quite well worth a visit! My husband rated this his 2nd favourite of the geothermal sites we visited.
翻译:我们在陶波和罗托鲁瓦之间游览了四个地热景点。月球火山口地热公园(Craters of the Moon)离陶波最近,是我们参观的第一个。它很容易与胡卡瀑布(Huka Falls)一同观赏。我特别喜欢它早上9:30就开放(比大多数景点都早),这让参观变得非常方便,而且门票价格也比较低,甚至对海外游客也有老年人折扣。公园里有很棒的说明牌,还介绍了一些植物方面的知识。
虽然相比我们当天晚些时候和第二天参观的其他地热公园,月球火山口地热公园显得低调一些,但它自有其独特的魅力,而且性价比很高。沿着平坦且路标清晰的小路步行大约需要45分钟,其中有一段15分钟的岔路通往观景山脊步道。公园里有很多火山口(其中几个是泥火山口),每个火山口都有不错的观景点,而且在步行过程中,你几乎随处都能看到火山口冒出的蒸汽。
如果你在陶波附近,这里绝对值得一游!我丈夫把这里评为我们参观过的所有地热景点中第二喜欢的。
