2.Lake Rotoiti Evening Kayak Tour including Hot Springs, Glowworm Caves and BBQ Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 60 reviews · from $135Top rated

Paddle Lake Rotoiti with an expert guide, stopping at natural hot pools, a Kiwi BBQ, and two caves lit by glowworms and home to freshwater crayfish. Hotel pickup, equipment, training, and hot-pool entry are included. No kayaking experience is needed, but moderate fitness helps.

“Be ready for quite a ride around the cave. Our guide was amazing and made a wonderful bbq for us. Prepare yourself for the exertion of the event and be in good physical shape ready to take on the lake. The day we went out it was a bit choppy but when we got back it was a bit dark and much calmer.”
