Mount Maunganui and Tauranga are the central areas for this kayak tour - it uses double kayaks on the calm sheltered waters of Lake McLaren. The tour operates in the evening due to the visibility of the glow worms..
As the evening unfolds, begin your journey with a short scenic drive through rolling countryside, you’ll arrive at the breath taking Lake McLaren. Here, you’ll be welcomed with “Te Reka O Te Whenua- the Taste of the Land” a curated tasting session featuring flavours unique to Aotearoa. Savour the flavours of New Zealand Cheeses, sweet RewaRewa honey, and other artisanal delights, perfectly paired with locally brewed kombucha. In the cooler months, sip on warm, spiced 0% mulled wine to keep you warm.

5.00I had the most amazing and memorable experience last night with the glowworm kayak tour, it’s seriously one I will never forget! We were blessed with Eoghan as our guide for the evening and he was the perfect mix of wisdom, dad jokes and incredible story telling. He has a one of a kind personality and golden-retriever like energy, and was a great personal chef, so perfect for the job! (I so wish I could’ve fit him in my suitcase back to Aus with me.😍) Anywhoo, we kayaked to the hot pools on lake Rotoiti and soaked in the glorious springs while dinner was cooking on the barbecue. Amazing service and very tasty! There was absolutely no sense of rushing or lack of time, it was peaceful and entertaining and really customer focused. The highlight for me was definitely seeing the sunset over the lake which was perfectly timed thanks to Eoghan, the glowworm cave stories and the kayak back with the view of stars in the nights sky! It was 10/10 in my humble opinion, definitely recommend for everyone to experience!!
Super fun experience

4.00Guides were great, very good at keeping group on task, safe and entertained. It got very dark quickly as we were loading into kayaks but went without incident. Lake calm and beautiful. Enjoyed explanations and legends. We loss some time with getting access into park initially so our departure was very rushed, but all worked out.
Memorable experience.

5.00The tour starts with a snack and at nightfall it goes out of the lake and into the canyon. Thousands of fireflies on the rocks. We were probably in the canyon for an hour. Unique and unforgettable!
