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.

The 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!

A truly magical experience that I will remember for life. Kayaking at night and watching the glowworms felt like navigating through the stars. It was peaceful, beautiful, and absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful way to experience the Glow worms. I am claustrophobic so going to a cave did not appeal to me, but on the kayak tour we were out in the open and saw the glow worms in a canyon. The distance we kayaked was just right (we do not kayak on a regular basis). The water was calm. It was a cool night, but our guides outfitted us with a fleece jacket (no takers on that) a rain jacket and a skirt that covered the kayak opening which kept our legs and feet dry the whole time. We had a nice assortment of local snacks before we headed out. It was a small group. I think there were 8 kayaks besides our two guides, Ewan and Jack. They were interesting and entertaining and we learned a lot about the local landscape as well as the glow worms themselves. Wonderful experience and I would highly recommend.

Cian our guide was amazing. Hi took us paddling over the lake to the hotpools where we took a long bath in the diffrent Pools. The Place was magically. When we heated up in the hotpools Cian cook our dinner that was delicius. Then in the sunset we paddle to the small cave where our cayaks just fitted in. It was as a stary sky in there. We could not come closer to a pefect evening tour.

We had a wonderful, private kayak tour with our guide Cian on lake Rotoiti to the hot pools and the glow worm cave. Crossing the lake to the hot pools we saw twice a stunning rainbow. We relaxed at the hot pool and in the meantime Cian prepared the barbecue. Cian gave us a lot of great information on the wildlife and Maori mythology. The highlight of the tour was the glow worm cave, which was a dream and we felt in love with the cave and glow worm lights. At the way home on lake Rotoiti we saw the stars and wished to could stay forever. Cian was the perfect guide, experienced and we always felt secure and well informed. This kayak was our highlight in NZ and should not be missed.
Beautiful evening
