Glowworms at McLarens Falls

Our big old Canadian canoe
An exhilarating paddle up the McLarens Falls lake was the perfect way to finish an extremely hot day. McLarens Falls is a 190 hectare lakeland park about 10 minutes from Tauranga heading towards the Kaimai Ranges. The night was still and the lake calm as we launched our canoe and started paddling, taking in all the beautiful scenery and the sounds of the varied bird life. We live in paradise and all this beauty is on our doorstep. How lucky are we? Arriving at the gorge we waited patiently until dusk and took in the gorgeous sight of the multitudes of glowworms. With great reluctance we headed back down the lake in the dark (guess who left the headlights back at the landing!) enjoying the peace and serenity along the way. This little piece of Paradise is a popular spot for camping, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and bush and lake walks and is a regular place to visit for us. We can park our caravan and enjoy all the activities including a great little cafe with a fabulous family atmosphere.

Did you bring the boat yourself?
Hi
Yes that was our old canoe but you can hire canoes and kayaks do an organised trip through Waimarino glow worm tours.
