Glowworm Caves Kayaking Adventure

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

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

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

On clear nights, it's possible to see the Milky Way fill the sky. The experience of being on calm water under a sparkling sky in total darkness is remarkable.

At the end of the activity, we'll return to the starting point. The kayaking itself lasts around 1 hour, but with transfers, this activity lasts about 3 hours.
