Lake Rotoiti Guided Hot Pools Kayak Trip

Highlights

Join us for a guided Kayak trip to the spectacular Manupirua Springs Hot Pools on Lake Rotoiti. On arrival at our base we will get you kitted up in the paddling gear before a short drive to the lake. After a paddle and safety brief we paddle across scenic Lake Rotoiti to this amazing spot only accessible by boat. Situated right on the lake edge there are a range of hot pools of varying temperatures all fed from a natural hot spring. Paddling time is usually around 1 hour each way, with time to relax and enjoy the hot pools or swim in the lake before enjoying a leisurely return paddle. During the paddle your guide will tell you some of the history of the area and some local Maori legend’s, we also have the option of visiting a cave where you may be able to glimpse a couple of glow worms.
