Glowworm Caves Kayaking Adventure

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at Rotorua Information Centre. From here, you'll take a shuttle past the iconic Redwood forest to our base on the lake shore.

Upon arrival, we'll prepare for the night. Our guide will provide a safety talk and basic kayak instructions before we take to the water.

We will start exploring the shoreline under the evening light. Once it’s dark, we'll follow the guide into small hidden caves home to glowworms, illuminating the dark with blue and white lights.

On clear nights, the opportunity arises to see the Milky Way fill the sky, providing a unique experience on calm water in total darkness.

The kayaking lasts around 1 hour, with the overall activity, including transfers, taking about 3 hours.
