Big Kanu Starlight Tour

Tour Location: Lake Rotoiti, Rotorua

Experience the magic of Lake Rotoiti as you paddle together in our Big Kanu, gliding along the shoreline beneath the setting sun. Surrounded by native bush, you’ll hear captivating Māori myths and legends that bring this special place to life.

As night falls, venture into a hidden cave where thousands of Glowworms create a breathtaking, star-like display. Emerging from the cave, you’ll find yourself beneath a sky filled with the Milky Way, with its reflection shimmering on the water—an unforgettable sight.

This tour is perfect for all ages, with no experience needed. Just bring your sense of adventure and get ready for a truly unique evening on the lake!
