Tauranga

Evening Glowworm Kayak Tour

Start your Evening Glowworm Tour at Waimarino alongside the Wairoa River. Enjoy delicious refreshments while watching the sun set over the rolling hills. At twilight our guides will lead you into the calm waters to discover the magic of the enchanting Glowworm canyon.

A narrow, high-sided canyon at the head of the lake is the home to thousands of Glowworms. To ensure their luminescence our tour departs once a day before sunset so by the time we get to the Glowworm canyon it’s completely dark.  This tour is led by professional and knowledgeable guides providing a fantastic and informative brief about the life cycle and peculiarities of the Glowworm.
