What you can expect

  • Join a Glowworm tour on Lake McLaren, just a short 25-minute drive from Tauranga's CBD, to experience a mix of adventure and natural marvels. Sit back and immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery, diverse birdlife, and captivating world of glowworms, all from the comfort of a spacious Big Kanu.

    Begin the journey by launching the Big Kanu boat from the serene lakeside, setting out on a peaceful paddle toward the head of the lake. Depart just before sunset to witness the full splendor of the radiant display.

    As darkness envelops the narrow, high-sided canyon, feast your eyes on the luminescent glow. Glide through the tranquil waters, surrounded by thousands of Glowworms twinkling like stars in the night sky.

    Along the way, gain fascinating insights into the life cycle and characteristics of these bioluminescent creatures from your guide.
