Glowworms, Must be 8+ Years
Start your Evening Glowworm Tour at Waimarino alongside the Wairoa River. Enjoy delicious refreshments while watching the sun set over the rolling hills. At twilight our guides will lead you into the calm waters to discover the magic of the enchanting Glowworm canyon.
A narrow, high-sided canyon at the head of the lake is the home to thousands of Glowworms. To ensure their luminescence our tour departs once a day before sunset so by the time we get to the Glowworm canyon it’s completely dark. This tour is led by professional and knowledgeable guides providing a fantastic and informative brief about the life cycle and peculiarities of the Glowworm.

Waimarino was first established in 1975 by the current owners parents. With a vision to teach kayaking to people of all ages. With this vision in mind, a section along the Wairoa River’s edge was purchased. Barry and Barbara started operating with 6 kayaks in a small wooden shed. They soon became a successful education facility.
In 2003 Blair and, his wife Charlotte Anderson purchased the business and became Waimarino Ltd. Barry & Barbara’s son, Blair developed parts of Waimarino beyond the original vision, opening up new ventures, expanding the grounds; and introduced exciting ways to learn and have fun with the sport of kayaking.
Waimarino Kayak Tours started in 2003 and now operate in Tauranga and Rotorua, on The Wairoa River, Lake McLaren and Lake Rotoiti. With the main operations still based in its original location alongside the Wairoa River.
