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.

5.00The guides were super friendly and helpful. They gave us gloves, booties and wetsuits . Kayaking and night and going into glow worm caves was the most amazing experience . Much better than the touristy waitomo caves.
Highly Recommend, Very Enjoyable

5.00Amazing evening! Lots of ways to see glow worms in NZ, but I think this is the most authentic. A slow cruise paddling out some hidden caves. All the staff were super helpful and the evening went smooth.
Great Firefly Hole experience!

5.00Super beautiful fireflies and stars, meticulous care for everyone, with candy and hot, unbeatable experiences! It's great to be in a cave drinking hot coincidences and watching fireflies. Row for about an hour and a half, via 4 caves, novice friendly, not very fast paced, meeting point will be equipped, no need to bring your own extra. Leader Jacob people are really super nice and warm. Thank you very much.
Awesome adventure

Surreal glow worm kayak 🌌🛶

5.00What a surreal experience! Paddling along (in a tandem kayak) along a flat calm lake under the stars was amazing in itself, and that is even before the main attraction of the glow worm caves - they were truly stunning and will be a very memorable part of our NZ trip. The company was very well organised, too, which made it even more pleasant. We borrowed wet suits (dry and easy enough to put on), rain jackets, boots and lifejackets, which were all included and meant I was perfectly warm the whole evening. At the lake we met our guides who were really friendly! Kept us dry and told loads of interesting stories and facts about the worms. Shoutout to Forrest 🫡 Would strongly recommend to anyone staying in Rotorua for a night! Can't imagine anyone wouldn't love it. Thanks team!
Loved it!!!

5.00It was a very special experience. The guide Tom was a very warm and knowledgeable person who told us a lot about worms and stargazing. It was a lucky day. It rained all the time during the day, but when we were in the middle of the lake, it was sunny. The sky was full of stars, which was very romantic. I had a wonderful night.
