This is a once in a life-time experience and different from any other Glowworm Tour you'll go on! Our adventure begins late afternoon / early evening at Riverside Adventures' base in South Waikato. Paddle along the southern edge of Lake Karapiro, over the old submerged Horahora Dam that produced electricity for the early Waihi goldfields. Learn the history of the Horahora village and enjoy the twilight & silence of being on the water as the day draws to an end. As night arrives over the lake , paddle slowly up the Pokaiwhenua Stream and through the canyon carved out by water over many hundreds of years. Native ferns & trees drape over you, bird life is all around. When darkness falls we float silently back downstream, being guided by the glow worms on either side sparkling like Christmas lights.

Had an amazing time with Kayaking Adventures! The experience was well-organized, and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable on the water. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and it was a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The equipment was in great condition, and safety was clearly a priority, which made the experience enjoyable for both beginners and experienced paddlers. It’s such a fun and different way to get outdoors and experience nature from a whole new perspective. Definitely will be back!

Glowworm was a let down but the experience of kayaking through the river at dark was magical. Lots of down time waiting since the river has other groups doing activities at the same time. I would not do this again.
