What you can expect

Your guided tour commences in the late afternoon or early evening. As you paddle along the southern end of Lake Karapiro, crossing over the old submerged Horahora Village and power station that produced electricity for the early Waihi goldfields.

Learn about local Maori and early European history of the area while enjoying the twilight and silence of being on the water as the day draws to an end.

The magic begins as you paddle slowly up the Pokaiwhenua stream and through a spectacular canyon carved out by water over many hundreds of years. Native ferns and trees and bird life surround you and you may even hear brown trout breaking the water's surface.

When darkness falls you will drift silently back downstream, surrounded by glow worms on either side sparkling like tiny Christmas lights.
