Super trip! We had a perfect night on the lake with still water and a full moon. Guides were terrific! We are experienced kayakers but had some inexperienced people on the tour- not the right setting to learn how to kayak in the dark and into caves.

Such an amazing experience! I'm very glad I was book in as everyone should should see the glow worms st least once in their life. The crew were delightful and knowledgeable about the history. If I'm back in town, I'll definitely be going again!

Loved this so much! It was magical. Ellen was so knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk to. Me, my husband and son loved the entire experience. I was a bit worried that I would be cold but they provided everything to help me be warm and comfortable. I wasn’t cold at all! It was absolutely awesome!!

A super lovely night! We saw a fantastic Milky Way on the Kayak, and the glowing worm caves were beautiful.
The guide from Christchurch was very kind and patient with my 7 year old son.
During the of waiting, they prepared game, Starry Sky Explanation and hot chocolate. A very lovely experience, really recommend.

To be fair, it probably is what you expect out of it. I just anticipated it to be a lot more lit up with the "glow worms". I learned that the things you are looking at are actually larva organisms with poop inside them (that is what radiates the visual of the glow). When you break it down to that, I definitely wouldn't recommend. However, we had a lovely evening with a clear sky and you could easily see hundreds of stars up above and many constellations. That in of itself of a spectacular view & experience. Also, if you do choose to go, if you could be so lucky as to get the guide - Nick. I stayed in New Zealand (North & South islands for 3 weeks) and even with my opinion of the tour itself, he was the best tour guide I had throughout my entire holiday. He was a genuinely nice person, cared about every single individual on the tour, and was very active in engaging questions about New Zealand history, culture, "glow worm" education, etc. Couldn't recommend him as your guide if you choose that this experience is for you!
