Highlights

Your Glow Worm Adventure Kayak tour begins with a friendly pick-up from the Rotorua Information Centre. We stop at our base to gear up, then head out to the lake where the kayaks await! As you paddle into twilight, the lake reflects the shifting colours of dusk, creating a striking backdrop for your journey. Your first stop is a secluded lakeside beach accessible only by vessel, where you’ll step ashore to enjoy kiwi snacks and hot tea while taking in the quiet of the night. Back on the water, you’ll paddle toward hidden glow worm caverns that come alive after dark. Thousands of tiny lights illuminate the walls like a starry sky, giving you time to drift beneath their shimmering glow for an unforgettable, intimate encounter. If the night is clear, the magic continues outside the caves as milky-way shines overhead, guiding your serene paddle back across the lake.

About Rotorua

Rotorua is a geothermal city on New Zealand's North Island, with steaming vents, bubbling mud, a lake and a strong Māori culture.

Rotorua sits on the shore of Lake Rotorua in the centre of the North Island, a city built on a volcanic plateau where steam rises from vents in parks and by the roadside and the smell of sulphur hangs in the air. The Te Arawa people have lived here for centuries, and their culture is visible in carved meeting houses, performances and the living village of Whakarewarewa, where residents cook food in natural steam.

Top-ranked sights in Rotorua: Lake Rotorua, Te Puia, Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland.
