Glowworms and Hot Pools: Lake Rotoiti’s Hidden Gems
One of the highlights of the Scenic Lake Rotoiti Kayak Tour is a visit to a secret glowworm cave. As your kayak glides into the darkness, the glowworms illuminate the cave walls, creating a magical, starlit atmosphere found only in New Zealand. It’s a peaceful and awe-inspiring moment that captures the essence of the lake’s natural charm.
After exploring, paddle to the exclusive Manupirua Hot Pools, accessible only by water. Here, you can soak in the natural geothermal springs while surrounded by native bush and stunning lake views. The soothing warmth and tranquil setting provide the perfect finish to a truly memorable day on the water.
