Paddle along the glistening waters of Lake Rotoiti, and explore a glowworm cave and thermal hot pools. Board your motor coach for a scenic drive to the water’s edge, where you will receive a safety briefing before your kayaking outing begins. Climb into your kayak and follow your guide as you glide across the clear waters through expansive scenery as you hear tales of Māori legends.
As you head toward the entrance to a hidden cave, you will observe an abundance of local birdlife. At the cave’s entrance, keep your eyes peeled for its enchanting residents, an array of glowworms that adorn the walls, creating alluring green-and- yellow hues.
Next, you will paddle to the Manupirua thermal hot pools. Enjoy a well-earned dip in the refreshing waters before your picnic lunch.
Good to Know:
Drive to Lake Rotoiti is about 1hr each way. In the event of adverse weather conditions on Lake Rotoiti, for guests’ safety and comfort an alternative location may be used. The alternative location does not include the glow worm cave.
Wear swimwear under your clothes and bring a towel. Sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, and a dry change of clothes are also recommended. Shorts are the recommended attire for kayaking (and a fleece or rain jacket depending on the weather) – denim jeans are not suitable.
