From Waimarino Kayak Tours - Evening Glow Worm Kayak Tour
Hi Steffi. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed our Evening Glow Worm Kayak Tour! It is definitely an incredibly scenic tour and we think it is very unique to be able to kayak in the dark, and see glow worms at the same time! Thank you for your lovely feedback.

Was a lovely evening tour, but a bit pricey
We really enjoyed the tour, sunset over the lake was spectacular, the guides were friendly and great to chat to.

Nice but short
The tour was nice, the team is nice but the canyon with the glowworms is small. They take you for a round trip in it. it’s very nice to see because there are a lot of them and the guides give explanations. It's not worth the 210 but for 80 its ok.

Glow worm night kayak
We braved a wet night to paddle upstream, our guide leading the way of our small party. It was a dark & misty night as a hydro power station loomed up in the distance, with a combined effort we paddled into a slot canyon to which we were greeted by a fairyland of luminous glow worms

Unforgettable and beautiful
Was absolutely stunning to see the the glow worms, a little bit tiring but it makes the view that much more worth it

Tolle Erfahrung
Sehr schöne Tour, die Ruhe des Sees und du vielen Vögel in der Dämmerung. Die Glowworms sitzen in einem Canon und waren besonders hell und zahlreich, wunderschön! Kajaken im Dunkeln ist auch nicht alltäglich! Super Tour an einen Regentag! Im Kajak stört es nicht da man super ausgestattet wird mit Jacken und Spritzdecke und der See ist ruhig. Originalpreis meiner Meinung nach aber zu hoch.
