New Zealand Experience
I attended with a friend from Japan. There were also other participants who came from Irish and from overseas. People said that they had been recommended this Tauranga kayak tour as the best way to see Glow Worms. It was true. It is a quieter, less crowded, more authentic and natural experience than other Glow Worms Tour in other areas. It was a great activity. The staff member who led the tour gave us details of Maori beautiful history and also explained about native plants and birds that inhabit the area. It was an excellent tour. Thank you so much.

A peaceful and surreal journey
Although the weather wasn't great (showers, grey skies, and just a wee bit cold) the glow worm and boat experience was. Our guides were lovely and very informative. They kept us safe, afloat and as dry and warm as could be. The glow worms were beautiful and the lake was so peaceful, it was a very different and quite a surreal experience, that I'm glad I was able to do with my kids. Highly recommend.

Good experience
My first experience with glowworms sightseeing. It was good. But it was a one time experience for me.
