Walking and Cycling Adventures by the Waikato River

The Twilight Triventure begins with a refreshing walk from Jones Landing to Arapuni Dam, revealing lush greenery and sweeping views of Lake Arapuni. Along the way, the lookout offers a perfect moment to pause and soak in the beauty of the ignimbrite bluffs, glowing softly in pink hues. This section of the journey sets the tone for a relaxed and inspiring outdoor experience.

After the walk, a bike awaits to carry you along the Waikato River Trail, offering a mix of gentle terrain and exhilarating scenery. Pedal past historic landmarks like the Arapuni Swingbridge, a local favourite for both walkers and cyclists. Returning to the base, you can unwind with a picnic or savour a meal in nearby Tirau, rounding out a truly Kiwi-style day outdoors.

Twilight Kayak Adventure Through Pokaiwhenua Gorge

As dusk settles, the adventure continues with a serene kayak through the tranquil Pokaiwhenua canyon. The calm waters mirror the fading light, creating a peaceful atmosphere that deepens as night falls. Then comes the highlight—watching the canyon walls come alive with the glow of titiwai, New Zealand’s enchanting native glow worms.

Guided by the soft shimmer of these tiny lights, you’ll glide through a scene that feels almost otherworldly. The gentle sound of paddles in the water and the soft illumination create a moment of pure magic. It’s the perfect way to finish an unforgettable day of exploring, cycling, and paddling in the heart of the Waikato.
