What to expect
Discover New Zealand's magical glow worms on this evening Paddle Board Tour. Appreciate the convenience of a pick up and return transfer from town as your friendly guide takes you past the iconic Redwood forest before you arrive at our base on the shorelines of Lake Okareka. Soak in the evening light as you gear-up and prepare for an epic night out with all necessary equipment provided. Your guide will then run through safety and detailed paddle board instruction before you take the helm on the water. Explore the shoreline and embrace the weather conditions of the evening as you follow your guide around the lake edge as night sets in. Once its dark, discover your adventurous side as your guide leads you inside incredible small hidden caves home to galaxies of glow worms. Take ample time to enjoy the magical moments inside the small 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 new friends through the wonder of this experience.

Thank you so much for the glowworm tour, it went above and beyond our expectation. The whole experience was amazing.Was so peaceful being out on the lake as the sun set making our way to the cave. Once we reached the cave we sat and watched as the glowworms came out and chatted. Very cool experience, our tour guide was so helpful and friendly. We loved every minute

An amazing experience! The lake during sunset, beeing surrounded by nature, paddling in the dark and then entering this beautiful cave full of little lights. We even got to walk in another small cave (the board doesn’t fit). The equipment is very good, boards, life jackets, wetsuit and booties and a headlight and the pickup makes it easy. If you’ve never done it before, just try! This is something very different from walking or mountainbiking in the forest.Easy pick up in central Rotorua, short drive to lake with a very friendly & knowledgeable guide. So peaceful, easy for first time paddle boarders. Paddle put in the setting sun & watch the glow worms in 2 caves after dark. Truely spectacular
