Descend into the ancient lava flow canyon flowing down from Mt Karioi as night falls.
You will be surrounded by picturesque scenery throughout the trip, all located in hidden Raglan bush. This is a highly rated, truly magical canyoning experience.
No matter the season, we have you covered! In summer you have lighter wetsuits, in Winter you'll be just as warm in super thick insulated wetsuits.
We encounter many obstacles on our way down, from waterfalls and rock walls to large boulders and beautiful fresh water pools. Challenge yourself to climb and abseil the cascading waterfalls and navigate your way all under the light of your head torch.
Although challenging, you will be accompanied by a very experienced, passionate and personable guide who is 100% safety audit certified, making sure all adventurers feel safe and get the most out of each and every trip.
As we navigate our way downstream, we will reach the final waterfall which is home to thousands of twinkling glowworms. Cast your eyes around the rock face and revel in the magical luminescent display, before heading back to base to finish off an adventure to be remembered for a lifetime.

Shiny above and all around you!
While the canyon itself is relatively mellow (middle of a very hot summer so the water level was low), the fact that it's at night makes it absolutely worthwhile!! Beautiful night with the stars and so many glowworms! Loved the finish at the waterfall with our kawakawa tea. Amazing guiding by Ella, thank you!!

Thanks so much for your review Enora, we love hearing the feedback we do from our guests! Like you said, the summer does mellow out our canyon in one way, but we still believe its such a hidden gem! Stoked you had such a great time, and the glowworms put on a show!

Awesome operators and memorable experience!
We booked this adventure for our 16th anniversary and couldn't enjoy ourselves more than being with such great guides and in the beautiful Raglan region. Also Harry who I think runs the business is awesome as he very kindly accommodated our special need for booking date. Highly recommend this business and its good people.

What an experience!
Great experience to do this in the dark. A challenging walk through a slippery stream, lots of glowworms, special tea and some pretty amazing abseils! The glowworms at the last waterfall make the end absolutely stunning!
