Reviews: Twilight Glowworm Kayak Tour – Lake Karapiro
Guest User2025-10-14
Sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate, so was it wet? Yes. Was it cold? Also yes. Was it atmospheric AF to drift in the river in the dark while the bioluminescent worms shine around you like a constellations of stars so close it feel you can touch them? Heck yeah. It was part planetarium, part Pandora in Avatar views in the dark with the blue lights of the glow worms twinkling around us. Even if it was cold and wet and hard to paddle in the wind (we really got unlucky with the weather there for a bit) how often can you say you’ve kayaked around black swans in a river over what used to be a giant hydropower damn? Do it. It’s pretty cool. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and kept us safe and have clear instructions and gave plenty of facts of those nerdy-inclined.
