The temperature does drop as we drift back downstream on this glow worm kayak tour so we recommend that you bring warm layers of clothing, preferably merino. We do not recommend wearing jeans as they get very cold when wet.
To make your experience as comfortable as possible, we provide you with overpants, splash jackets and wet shoes.
There is a changing area at our base where you can layer up before embarking on the tour. We also have secure storage facilities where you can leave any additional belongings.
You do require a moderate level of fitness and will be required to paddle yourself for the entire tour.
Glow worms don’t like camera flashes, so please ensure your camera’s flash is turned off after dark.
Alcohol or smoking is not permitted.
