Experience the magic of paddling along the southern edge of Lake Karapiro, gliding over the historic submerged Horahora Dam that once powered the early Waihi goldfields. Discover the fascinating history of Horahora village as you move quietly across the water during twilight, surrounded by the natural sounds of the lake. Learn about the canyon carved by centuries of flowing water as you paddle up the Pokaiwhenua Stream, with native ferns and trees draping overhead and birdlife all around. Explore the serenity of the evening as darkness falls, and watch in awe as glow worms light your path like sparkling Christmas lights, creating a truly unforgettable experience.

Explore the tranquility of the lake and stream as you float silently downstream, guided by the glow worms on either side. Discover how the calm of the evening allows for quiet reflection and a unique connection with nature. Learn the importance of safety and preparation, including suitable clothing to keep warm and dry, as evening temperatures drop. Experience the combination of adventure, natural beauty, and history in one remarkable journey. Explore a rare perspective on the landscape that few get to see, as the gentle paddle and ambient glow create a peaceful and immersive environment perfect for all ages.
