Kayak into the night to experience the natural wonder of glowworms as they light up in the dark!
Highlights
- Be mesmerised as thousands of glow worms light up in the dark!
- Expertly guided kayak tour through an ancient canyon
- Enjoy paddling along the tranquil waters of Lake Karapiro and the Pokaiwhenua Stream
- No experience necessary
Join Riverside Adventures Waikato for a magical evening kayaking the calm waters of Lake Karapiro and the Pokaiwhenua Stream.
Starting our paddle from the southern edge of Lake Karapiro, your guide will fill you in on the interesting history of the Horahora village as the sun begins to set.
We will make our way slowly up the Pokaiwhenua Stream and through a canyon hundreds of years old whilst enjoying stunning views of native trees and ferns.
Once darkness falls - the magic begins - as thousands of glowworms come to life, sparkling on either side of you like constellations in the night sky.

Amazing experience
We had a great time on the kayak tour- the guides are so passionate, friendly and knowledgable! We felt completely safe at all times and the experience was like no other- the kayaking was fun itself and seeing the glow worms was out of this world!
