Join us for a guided Kayak trip to the spectacular Manupirua Springs Hot Pools on Lake Rotoiti.
This amazing spot is situated right on the lake edge and only accessible by boat.

Amazing way to spend an afternoon and evening. Nice kayak trip across the lake, followed by a good soak in the hot pools - what a hidden little treasure! Followed by a tasty barbecue dinner - by chef Justin. Our guide, Justin, had lots of stories and historical facts about the area, so it wasn't all about exercise - thank you, Justin.
The return trip across the lake was magical: the sunset light, the glow-worms cave, the paddling under the moon and stars. An excursion to remember - we'll return for more of the same!

Great friendly and informative guide, beautiful scenery, and good weather for kayaking. Hot pool venue is great with a little snack shop. On weekdays not busy usually so place was mostly to ourselves! Great views from the hot pools and lovely beach.
Marked down as 50% of hot pools not available as being cleaned, which we were not advised of at all (booking or on the day). However overall great experience! Would recommend.

Justin the owner was up beat and welcoming. The equipment excellent and i structions clear. We set off at a good pace and went over to the hot springs that can only be reaches by boat or kayack and mid week we were the only people there. The bird life and scenery was spectacular and Justin told stories of Mauri battles and culture in a very entertainment fashion. I would highly recommend for an excellent 1/2 day trip!

We weren’t sure of the weather and so brought layers etc. We were pleasantly surprised by the fact they really mean it when they say “ just bring a swimsuit and a towel.” They were well equipped for every weather contingency to make us warm, dry and comfortable. Bravo
The kayaking was doable even for 60 something’s. The hot springs marvelous and we even made a short detour to a cave where we all actually saw some glow worms. Extra treat for us. Thank you J! Who also was very knowledgeable and amused us with Māori legends and local tales.

I found this very well run, everyone was put at ease. Justin made it fun for my 10 year old and the caves were a winner. The hot pools were magical.

Great morning out in the kayaks, the Hot Pools were fabulous and jumping off pier in to the cold water definitely got the blood pumping. Justin was a great guide. Thanks for the showing us this gorgeous piece of paradise.

Friendly and informative guide. Hot pools were so good and plenty of different temperatures to suit - along with the refreshing dip in the lake, optional :-)

Highly recommend this tour, Justin was our guide who picked us up and got us kitted out so we didn’t have to worry about our clothes getting wet. We learned all about the local area and history. The hot pools were amazing, a really beautiful quiet spot on the lake and not too cold for winter!
