Spring Adventures Hit Different—Here’s Why You Should Book Now

1. Blossoms, Birds & Better Temps

Spring in the Waikato is that sweet Goldilocks zone—warm enough to ditch the puffer but cool enough to keep the mozzies at bay. You’ll ride or paddle under bursts of kōwhai and cherry blossom, with tūī providing the soundtrack. Perfect riding weather = happier legs (and happier selfies).

2. Longer Days, Earlier Glowworms

Daylight Saving means more daylight for adventuring and earlier sunsets for our famous Glowworm Kayak Tours. No late-night finishes—just glowworms glittering away while you’re still home in time for dessert.

3. Trails All to Yourself

Peak-summer crowds? Nah, not in spring. Trails are quieter, river traffic is mellow, and you’ll have those Insta-worthy viewpoints basically to yourself. More space for high-fives, fewer photobombers.

4. Spring Deals = More Adventure for Your Dollar

Book any multi-day package in May / June (for trips between September and November) and choose:

  • Half-price Glowworm Tour – save your coin for post-paddle pizza... OR

  • FREE e-bike upgrade – cruise the hills like you’re in Tour de France mode (minus the lycra)

5. Nature’s Fresh Reset

Water levels are spot-on, forests are bursting with new growth, and that crisp spring air somehow makes coffee taste better at the trailhead. It’s the season of new beginnings—why not kick it off with an adventure?

6. Lock It In, Stress Less

Early bookings = best dates, best gear, best guides. Secure your spring getaway now and spend winter day-dreaming instead of doom-scrolling.
