Kayaking - Guided Hot Pools
Price: Adults $159 per person
Departs: 9:00 am summer & 10:00 am Winter
Duration: 4 to 4.5 Hours approx.
Join us on a guided kayak trip to the magnificent Manupirua Springs Hot Pools. Paddle across gorgeous Lake Rotoiti to reach this incredible location that is only accessible by boat.
There are a variety of hot spring-fed pools of varied temperatures located just on the lake’s edge. Take a relaxing dip in the pools or dive into the lake.
Typical paddling times are approximately one hour each way.
In the summer (beginning of Labor Day weekend to the end of Easter weekend), excursions begin at 9:00 a.m. and in the winter at 10:00 a.m.
Children may be allowed to ride in the front of a double kayak provided they are accompanied by a competent adult. With small children, the adult must be able to paddle a double kayak without the child’s assistance, and the child must be patient enough to sit at the front of the kayak. In general, 5 years of age is a decent rule of thumb, but feel free to discuss this with us if you have any questions.
Free transportation is offered from central Rotorua hotels roughly 30 minutes prior to departure, or you can meet us 15 minutes beforehand at our base. You can specify your pick-up information at checkout.
