Fun times :)
Perfect night for it, the water was amazing, the guide was friendly and knowledgeable . We all had a fun and unique experience :) only suggestion would be is to update the confirmation emails should be redone for meeting point/map and contact info. Otherwise, great!!

Really disappointed after looking forward to this
I'd looked forward to this since booking it, and the glow worms were pretty cool. But in all honesty was left really disappointed. We chose paddleboarding as a new activity and with a tight budget, don't get to do new things all that often. We arrived and the guide didn't even introduce herself but said 'are you guys happy to jump on a kayak'? She talked us out of paddleboarding by saying as newbies we'd probably fall in and it would be tricky getting in and out of the caves and getting bearings etc, even though it was a perfectly still night. So seemed we'd be causing hassle by paddleboarding, reluctantly agreed to kayak. The tour was a little over 50 minutes and just over 1km each way actual kayaking. We didn't even et a kayak each, and had to share a double. Had we been phoned about this beforehand, we could have changed to another activity, but we heard nothing. Sorry guys, but gutted how this experience panned out.

Hi Hannah I'm so sorry that this was a disappointment for you and that your tour was not up to our usual five star standard. I will talk to the team about what your feedback and make sure that we get back on track with delivering awesome experiences that meet expectations. I have contacted you directly to offer a full refund. Best regards Nev (owner of Paddle Board Rotorua)

Awesome experience- totally recommend!
Really enjoyed the glow worms and paddle boarding. I have never paddle boarded before and the patience and support was awesome - Nev taught me everything I needed to know and he was so fun guiding us around the beautiful caves. 10/10 recommend for beginners at paddle boarding (like me!) or those who are really good (like my partner).
