This land has the power to heal and excite anyone who meets it, just as it’s done for centuries.

This stunning landscape is nestled within a natural bush setting, through which self-guided walks take between 45 and 90 minutes. A walk through this surreal, lunar-like environment provides the chance to witness some of the volcanic wonders and a wide range of amazing photo opportunities with unique features including the world-famous Champagne Pool, a naturally colored hot and cold springs, Devil’s Bath, bubbling mud pools, steaming ground, expansive vistas, huge volcanic craters and sinter terrace formations.
