Join one of New Zealand’s most magical evening adventures with Taiao Adventures’ Glow Worm Kayak Tour. Begin with a scenic shuttle from Rotorua to a tranquil lake, where your guide will prepare you for an unforgettable night on the water.
As the sun sets, paddle along the peaceful shoreline before entering hidden caves lit by thousands of bioluminescent glow worms — a breathtaking, star-like spectacle. On clear nights, the Milky Way overhead completes the magic.
This tour blends nature, adventure, and wonder, offering a unique way to experience Rotorua’s beauty after dark.
Polynesian Spa’s Deluxe Lake Spa
Soak in the quiet comfort of the historic Polynesian Spa’s Deluxe Lake Spa, where naturally heated mineral waters meet panoramic views of Lake Rotorua. This family-friendly retreat features five geothermally heated mineral pools ranging from 36°C to 41°C, all overlooking the serene Sulphur Bay. Guests can experience two unique types of healing waters:
Priest Spring – acidic mineral water known for easing tired muscles and joint pain.
Rachel Spring – alkaline mineral water celebrated for its nourishing effect on the skin.
A cold plunge pool enhances the hydrotherapy benefits, while the geothermally heated recliners, gentle waterfalls, and native landscaping create a tranquil, open-air environment. It’s the perfect way to reconnect, relax, and rejuvenate.
