Tour programme
- Preparation:
We meet at our base 15 minutes before the tour starts. You are also welcome to make usage of our free pick-up service as long as you are staying in a hotel or motel in central Rotorua. For that, we will pick you up half an hour before the start of the tour. On-site you have to register with us and your guide will give you some important information about the tour. Afterward, you will receive an initial briefing to prepare you for the Kayak Rotorua tour. Your guide will then hand you the complete high-quality equipment which you can put on in one of our changing rooms. Here you will find lockers where you can store your valuables. After that, we will get into our car and take you to the starting point of the tour.
- Tour:
Before we start the tour we practice a few paddling techniques in the water. You will also receive a briefing to ensure your safety in the river. The whole tour takes about 4 to 5 hours, where we have to paddle about 1 hour until we reach the pools. This means that we have enough time to relax completely in the hot water.
- Return:
Once you arrive at the end of the Kayak Rotorua "Guided Hot Pools" tour, we will pick you up and bring you back to our base where you can change your clothes.
