Overview

Paddle Board Rotorua has a unique flavor of tourism where we treat all of our tours as if we were taking a group of friends on a fun adventure and creating the best time possible. This tour is possibly the only glow-worm paddle board tour in the world, allows you to be immersed in nature and is fun and exciting with our friendly guides and staff.

Itinerary

Discover New Zealand's magical glow worms on this evening Paddle Board Tour. Appreciate the convenience of a pick up and return transfer from town as your friendly guide takes you past the iconic Redwood forest before you arrive at our base on the shorelines of Lake Okareka. Soak in the evening light as you gear-up and prepare for an epic night out with all necessary equipment provided. Your guide will then run through safety and detailed paddle board instruction before you take the helm on the water. Explore the shoreline and embrace the weather conditions of the evening as you follow your guide around the lake edge as night sets in. Once its dark, discover your adventurous side as your guide leads you inside incredible small hidden caves home to galaxies of glow worms. Take ample time to enjoy the magical moments inside the small caves before returning along your course in the dark. If it is a clear night the magic continues as the stars come out and the cloudy appearance of the milky-way fills the sky. Upon returning to the base you will feel like you have been in another world for the past few hours and will likely have made new friends through the wonder of this experience.

An amazing night out on the lake. Water was super calm and glow worms were so bright! Also got to see the milkyway as we paddled back to shore. Absolutely magical. I would never be able to do this on my own so it was an entirely unique experience! Thank you so much to the instructors. Would have stayed there all night if I could lol

An interesting but a bit scary tour. Very cool to see the glow worms. There are plenty to see in this tour which includes about 5 separate caves/caverns. Nice night kayaking experience. But a little offsetting to go blind into these somewhat small spaces completely on your own. Not a lot of instruction or direction on getting into caves...bump into a wall and feel/pull along cave walls until glow worms are above you. Our guide seemed frustrated with the group it seemed. Glad I braved it through to see the glow worms.

The evening glow worm SUP tour was wonderful. Sunset, glow worms, and an incredible sky full of stars from on the lake was well worth the price, but an added bonus was our cheerful, personable tour guides. It was a calm, clear night and I happily stargazed while waiting my turn to go in the caves. The stars were incredible. The caves are small, and you go in to see the glow worms one by one sitting or lying down on your board. The large group was picked up from the visitor center in town, and then we were split into 3 separate paddling small groups of kayak or SUP. The boards themselves are wide and stable, so no worries if you’re not an experienced paddler.

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to NZ, the weather conditions were perfect, our guide Spella was amazing. We loved that it was a small group of 5, this is why we chose this tour. It felt like we were the only ones out on the lake & had so much time to lay on our boards and look at the glow worms, just fascinating. The fish shape marshmallows were a hit too!

This experience was great for relaxation and admiring the beauty of the glowworms, transportation was easy and our guide, Tom was informative, fun, and easy to interact with. the lake is temperate and calm, the caves are easy to navigate and the tour was great for beginner to intermediate paddle boarders. wetsuits and shoes were offered along with a gender-neutral changing room.
