Tauranga : Excursion en kayak en ver luisant du soir
Description
Le mont Maunganui et Tauranga sont les zones centrales pour cette excursion en kayak - il utilise des kayaks doubles sur les eaux calmes et abritées du lac McLaren. La visite fonctionne le soir en raison de la visibilité des vers luisants.. Alors que la soirée se déroule, commencez votre voyage par une courte route panoramique à travers la campagne vallonnée, vous arriverez au souffle en prenant le lac McLaren. Ici, vous serez accueillis avec « Te Reka O Te Whenua - le goût de la terre » une séance de dégustation organisée mettant en vedette des saveurs uniques à Aotearoa. Savourez les saveurs des New Zealand Cheeses, du miel RewaRewa sucré et d'autres délices artisanaux, parfaitement associés au kombucha brassé localement. Dans les mois les plus frais, sirotez du vin chaud et épicé à 0% pour vous réchauffer.

Itinéraire
ce point de rencontre est également le plus ancien site touristique établi du parc d'aventures Waimarino, où les familles profitent des activités de la journée
Prenez des rafraîchissements au bord du lac McLaren avant de partir en kayak double jusqu'au coucher du soleil. Vous découvrirez ici la vie des oiseaux se préparant pour la soirée et les légères éclaboussures de poisson (truite) sortant de la surface pour le repas du soir. Vous rejoignez ensuite la tête du lac et passez de la lumière du jour à la noirceur jusqu'au crépuscule. C'est à ce moment-là que les étoiles commencent à apparaître et que les vers luisants commencent à sortir de la brousse indigène sur les falaises.
Deuxième plus grand arboretum de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Une multitude d'oiseaux et d'arbres étonnants sont visibles.

Guide was wonderful, great with kids. Kayaking was easy and relaxing.
The experience was very fun and the tour guide was helpful and friendly.
We was meant to do the Rotorua tour but due to bad weather we moved it to the Tauranga big Kanu, and we’re all so glad we did. Bella & Uchie were the greatest guides, informative, funny and great to chat to. The trip was so relaxing and fun, the scenery was stunning and the glow worms amazing. Thank you both for a truly wonderful experience and evening
We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and thank you for being so accommodating - New Zealand weather certainly keeps us all on our toes :)
This tour is just lovely and a perfect combination of workout, relaxing, nature and food. Alex our guide did such a great job, entertained us with knowledge and beautiful stories. The food was so delicious and we had a great time in the hot pools. Paddelling home under the nights sky was really special.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review. We're thrilled you had a great time and we'll pass on the kind words to Alex.
We had a fantastic tour. Longer paddling than expected but worth it. Paddled to the hot spas and spent time soaking while dinner was grilled. After we paddled to the caves and the glow worms were very cool to see. We then paddled back to shore in the dark. Our guide was friendly and a wealth of information. Highly recommend tour.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the full experience - from the hot pools and dinner to the glowworm caves. We hope to see you back again soon!
Really fun experience! Going by kayak to see glowworms was fabulous. We did Waitomo caves the day prior and this tour did not disappoint or feel duplicative, I’m glad we went. I’m not an experienced kayaker and the guide was very patient and helped me with my form to make it easier for me, now I’m an expert kayaker ☺️.
It’s fantastic to hear the experience felt unique alongside your visit to Waitomo, they really are special in their own ways! We’re also so glad to hear you’ve graduated to expert kayaker status… we’ll be expecting you back for another adventure soon!😊
Ben did a great job as tour guide for this activity and narrating the trip. It was a lovely adventure. We enjoyed delicious gourmet snacks before setting out in our kayaks with all the gear we could possibly need. We paddled out at sunset, then Ben pulled us into a narrower area where the glowworms were located. We learned about the science of the glowworms and a beautiful Maori legend. It was magical seeing the "stars" in the trees/cliffs around us while listening to gentle waterfalls. I have been to glowworm cave experiences and this is better. It was really special. My 11 year old loved it too.
Thank you for your kind words. We're thrilled you go to experience the glow worms and make lasting memories with your 11 year old!
So fun! Great guides Jack & Ewen. Learned lots.
We're thrilled to hear you had fun on our Evening Glow Worm Kayak Tour! We'll pass the kind words onto our guides
Well organised, friendly, carefree and professional.
Thank you for your kind words, we're glad you had a great experience with us
I had the most amazing and memorable experience last night with the glowworm kayak tour, it’s seriously one I will never forget! We were blessed with Eoghan as our guide for the evening and he was the perfect mix of wisdom, dad jokes and incredible story telling. He has a one of a kind personality and golden-retriever like energy, and was a great personal chef, so perfect for the job! (I so wish I could’ve fit him in my suitcase back to Aus with me.😍) Anywhoo, we kayaked to the hot pools on lake Rotoiti and soaked in the glorious springs while dinner was cooking on the barbecue. Amazing service and very tasty! There was absolutely no sense of rushing or lack of time, it was peaceful and entertaining and really customer focused. The highlight for me was definitely seeing the sunset over the lake which was perfectly timed thanks to Eoghan, the glowworm cave stories and the kayak back with the view of stars in the nights sky! It was 10/10 in my humble opinion, definitely recommend for everyone to experience!!
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience was so memorable and that the evening ticked all the boxes. Eoghan will be stoked to read this - his storytelling, humour, and energy really do make him one of a kind, and we’re so glad he made your night extra special (we wish we could send him home in suitcases too sometimes! 😄). It’s awesome to hear you felt relaxed, well looked after, and able to truly soak in every moment. Thanks again for the recommendation, we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
