Itinerary

Join us for a guided Kayak trip to the spectacular Manupirua Springs Hot Pools on Lake Rotoiti.
On arrival at our base we will get you kitted up in the paddling gear before a short drive to the lake.
After a paddle and safety brief we paddle across scenic Lake Rotoiti to this amazing spot only accessible by boat.
Situated right on the lake edge there are a range of hot pools of varying temperatures all fed from a natural hot spring.

Paddling time is usually around 1 hour each way, with time to relax and enjoy the hot pools or swim in the lake before enjoying a leisurely return paddle.
During the paddle your guide will tell you some of the history of the area and some local Maori legend’s, we also have the option of visiting a cave where you may be able to glimpse a couple of glow worms.

Awesome trip with our guide Justin. Leisurely kayak across Lake Rotoiti to the hot pools with a stop off to see the glow worms cave on the return trip. Second time we have used this company, fully recommended and will use again. Thanks Justin and good luck.
