Enjoy the beauty of the Mangapapa Glow Worm Canyon from the comfort of a Big Kanu.
This tour is great fun allowing you to appreciate the beautiful scenery, birdlife and Glowworms from your seat in a Big Kanu. Taking place at Lake McLaren, it is only a 25 minute drive from Tauranga's CBD. Launch the Big Kanu from the lakes edge and paddle together through the calm waters towards the head of the lake. A narrow, high-sided canyon is the home to thousands of Glowworms scattered like the night starts. Learn about the life cycle and peculiarities of the Glowworms from our knowledgeable guides.
