Beautiful lakes, Geysers, gondola ride
Fantastic food
Great visit to Maori Arts and crafts museum
One needs at least 2 to 3 days to cover several beautiful sites and locations in the city of Rotorua.
All 3 guides were simply superb.. Daryl, Hermes and Pete
It was much bigger than expected and the mud pools and hot springs were amazing. The mud Bath experience was fun and we had a great time here.

Reviews: Twilight Glowworm Kayak Tour – Lake Karapiro

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.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable relaxation and detox package. We arrived right at 9:15 am and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet, the pools, and the friendly staff!
