Description
Discover something new on an evening Big Kanu Glowworm Tour in Tauranga. At twilight, paddle across the lake onboard a Big Kanu - a canoe - where you will see beautiful scenery and glittering glowworms. This tour is suitable for all ages and experience levels.
The Big Kanu Glowworm Tour begins with launching your canoe from the edge of Lake McLaren, a short drive from central Tauranga. Your Waimarino Kayak Tours guide will lead the way as you paddle across the smooth waters of the lake. This is a fantastic alternative to a Tauranga kayaking tour if you are interested in trying something different or prefer to paddle in a group.
At the start of the tour, you will have the chance to see plenty of wildlife that calls Lake McLaren home, including native birds. Then, as night falls, you will visit a secret canyon lit up by thousands of enchanting glowworms. Follow your Waimarino Kayak Tours guide through the Mangapapa Canyon and learn all about the lifecycle of these magical creatures. This is a surreal experience and a must-do while visiting Tauranga.

Hi!
thanks so much for your question!
There are no restrictions on the Big Kanu Glowworm Tour for pregnant women although it is recommended to get approval from your doctor. It is also important to note that the decision to do it would be at your own risk.
