Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Feel at one with nature as you explore Lake Rotoiti, catch a glimpse of glowworms in a small cave and relax in the thermal hot pools near the lake. Your excursion begins as you board your motorcoach for a scenic, 75-minute narrated drive to Lake Rotoiti, one of Rotorua's most beautiful lakes. Upon arrival, you'll join your highly trained and knowledgeable guide who'll share local Maori history and legends. As you paddle onto the lake you'll view the beautiful expansive scenery, geothermal vents, native bush, Kiwi baches (holiday homes) and abundant birdlife towards the hidden entrance of a small cave. Once inside, keep a look out for some glow-worms. After exiting the cave, paddle to the lake's edge for a chance to relax in the natural geo-thermal pools of Manupirua and soak up Rotoiti's breathtaking landscape. During the day, enjoy a classic kiwi packed lunch of a filled roll, biscuit, chocolate bar and bottle of water.
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.
