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.

Wonderful Twilight paddle up the lake and through the Glow Worm Grotto. Fortunate to have excellent glassy conditions and lots of glow worms on display. Excellent guiding by Mac too! Thank you.

This was an experience of a lifetime and we’ll treasure it always. Jess was an incredible guide and knew every bird by sight and sound, every tree and so much information about the glow worms and the area. She even pointed out constellations on the beautiful, starry night and we could see the Milky Way. Riverside Adventures could have canceled on us because we ended up just having us two on this particular random late fall day tour, but they didn’t and we are so grateful!

Great experience. I can highly recommend it to anyone. The glowworms were amazing and the nature around was really nice as well. On top of that we got a perfect clear nightsky and even learned some about the stars.
