What To Expect
Your friendly guide will pick you up and shuttle you from Rotorua, past the iconic Redwood forest as you make your way to our base on the lake shorelines. Upon arrival you will gear-up and prepare for an epic night out with all activity equipment provided. Your guide will then run through safety and basic kayak instruction before you take the helm on the water. You will then begin exploring the shoreline and embracing the last light of the evening as you follow your guide around the lake edge. Once it’s dark, discover your adventurous side as your guide leads you inside small hidden caves home to galaxies of glow worms. Take ample time to enjoy the magical moments inside the caves before returning along your course in the dark. If it is a clear night the magic continues as the stars come out and the cloudy appearance of the milky-way fills the sky. Upon returning to the base you will feel like you have been in another world for the past few hours and will likely have made some new friends through the wonder of this shared experience.

5.00Great experience!! Our guide was so friendly and told us lots of cool facts about fireflies. Kayaking at night on the lake was incredibly peaceful, quiet and beautiful. We then drove in about 5-6 caves and saw thousands of fireflies, it was incredibly nice to hardly put into words!!! While we were on the water there was also a hot chocolate with Marshmellows, which made it even better! I can really recommend the tour so thousand percent!!
An excursion not to be missed!!

5.00Taiao Adventures team were fantastic! They provided transportation to the location, safety equipment, as well as waterproof clothing that we could use if we wanted to. The guy on the lake., Forrest, did an incredible job! He knew the area very well, all the history and information about the area as well as the glow worms and the caves, and included history from the Māori culture which added to the experience. One of the best tours I have been on in my stay in New Zealand! I highly recommend them!

5.00My experience was magical, the glow warms looked like stars at night even being in the middle of the lake at night with the stars up above was special. The tour guides were very polite and experienced and story telling was enjoyable, it made my night.
Beautiful Experience
