WHAT YOU VISIT
Lake Rotoiti
The 269-foot-deep lake is renowned as one of the most beautiful lakes in the region. Upon arrival, your highly trained and knowledgeable guide will share the myths and legends of the local Maori people as you paddle onto the lake. Revel in the beautiful expansive scenery, geothermal vents, native bush, Kiwi baches (holiday homes) and abundant birdlife towards the hidden entrance of a small cave for a glimpse of glow worms. Once you exit the cave you'll glide across to the lake's edge and step out of your kayak and into the Manupirua thermal hot pools for a well-earned break. Then, you'll have 30 minutes to relax in the soothing hot pools of varying temperatures all fed from a natural hot spring.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Admire the beauty of your surroundings while paddling across the mirror-calm waters of Lake Rotoiti.
LUNCH
Refresh with a packed lunch that includes a classic kiwi lunch of a filled roll, biscuit, chocolate bar and bottle of water.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
The scenic 75-minute drive to Lake Rotoiti takes you through the quiet countryside.

Special Notes
There is no height or weight requirements but please note the physical and agility requirements.
No previous kayaking experience is required, but a very good level of fitness and mobility is needed, as you will be paddling for two hours, sometimes in breezy conditions requiring sustained strenuous exertion. Due to these physical requirements, this tour is not suitable for less physically capable guests.
In the event of adverse weather conditions on Lake Rotoiti, for guests' safety and comfort an alternative location will be used. The alternative location does not include the glow worm cave.
To make your day as enjoyable as possible, please wear swimwear under your clothes and bring a towel, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, and a dry change of clothes are also recommended. Shorts are the recommended attire for kayaking – denim jeans are not suitable.
Participants must be a minimum of 8 years old.
