5.00This was a FANTASTIC way to spend the evening. Our outstanding guides Troy and Henry were super friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. We learned quite a bit about not only the glow worms, but about New Zealand culture, wildlife and other local information about the park. Our family of 5 adults took the tour in the big canoe and had a blast. They provide everything you need, including warm beanie hats (we visited in winter) which were greatly appreciated :) After our canoe ride was over, we were able to see the stars and milky way in the park with practically no light pollution! Overall, Troy and Henry made our trip an outstanding one - highly recommend going!
