Nestled at Waimarino Adventure Park, Tauranga is where your Evening Glow Worm Kayak Tour begins. Prior to setting off on this 3-hour adventure, you'll be treated to a variety of refreshing snacks like fruit and crackers with dips.

As the sun sets over New Zealand’s Wairoa river, surrounded by cascading hills, it creates an excellent backdrop for your journey's start. Your trained guide will escort you towards kayaks set on this serene waterway at twilight. The lush surroundings, diverse birdlife, and native bush enhance what promises to be a memorable paddling experience.

The highlight of the tour unfolds in the towering canyon above the river after sunset. This setting allows for an optimal view of glowworms' luminescence against the cave's darkness. Paddling through these waters, you'll witness thousands of glowworms lighting up the cavern ceilings with their bluish radiance. As your guide shares fascinating details about these insects and their life cycles, time will seem to pass quickly while observing this natural spectacle.
