Kayak Lake Rotoiti at sunset, soak in hot springs, eat a BBQ dinner, and see glowworms and crayfish in boat-only caves.
“We had an amazing time on this Kayak tour! Our family of four enjoyed every moment from beginning to end (even the rainy moments). Swimming at the lake by the hot pools was a highlight for our 14 year-old, and our 15 year-old still talks about the stories we got to hear as we paddled from place to place. Thank you River Rats for such a great day!”
