Beautiful night out with great bunch of people
I took my partner as a suprise for our date night and we loved it! The tour guide was super friendly and the group we went with were heaps of fun! You couldn't get to these glow worms by foot its a different area to the walking track. Were pretty sure we even heard a Tui and a Kiwi, the glow worms were beautiful 😍 Very impressed. Definitely worth supporting your local. A+

awesome intimate tour
Josh and Dan were such amazing hosts for our small group tour. Because there were so few of us, we had a great time having more in-depth chats and getting to know each other. The kayaking was smooth and we always felt safe. The glow worms were great and the beautiful stories on the Maori mythology were awesome to hear. Definitely do this!
