This was the highlight of our trip, beautiful, very easy going kayaking. Lovely guides. Even if you’ve seen glowworms elsewhere, this is next level. We felt very safe and well cared for throughout the experience. Would recommend hiring the backrest (additional $10) for comfort.

We had such a great time on this activity! While it took us a bit to figure out the flow with our kayak, once we got the hang of it we were fine. The scenery is beautiful but seeing the glow worms was AMAZING! All you can see are the breathtaking stars above and then the glow worms all around look like more stars. It was incredible and peaceful. Cannot recommend more!!

It was a perfect trip! Frank was incredibly kind to book our Lantern Festival tour. Our local New Zealand guide, Classy, ​​picked us up on time at the Rotorua Visitor Centre and took us to Lake Okareka. We stopped at their shop along the way to explain what to wear and provide free kayaking gear. Upon arrival at the lake, they provided kayaks and paddles and offered paddling lessons, which was very helpful for kayaking beginners like us. We were divided into groups of 3-4 kayaks, each led by Classy and Sharon, to observe glowworms scattered across the lake and in caves. They explained everything to us, and their service was professional, warm, and attentive. At the last cave, they even offered local snacks and hot cocoa. The tranquil night, paddling on the lake under a sky full of stars, with glowworms twinkling like stars in the caves, was a truly wonderful experience.

This trip was absolutely amazing! The lake was perfect and it was just us with Glen and Brad. Glen was a great guide, great snacks and he made us some great coffee! It was a fun trip. The stories and the carvings are so cool. This is the best way to get them by far. You get so close!! Unreal can’t say enough good things!
