Experience a mysterious underground world of rushing water before drifting in silent darkness beneath the luminous shimmer of hundreds of glowworms.
Your magical journey begins in Te Anau with a relaxing cruise to the glowworm caves onboard one of our purpose-built scenic cruise vessels.
Relax on board, enjoy the scenery as we cruise to the western shores of Lake Te Anau. There is no road access to the Te Anau Glowworm Caves.
Upon arrival at the glowworm caves, you'll meet your guide and be able to view the interesting displays in Cavern House and learn about this mysterious underground world.
Venturing underground in small groups, you will soon appreciate that the Te Anau Glowworm Caves date back over 12,000 years and are home to a vast network of twisting limestone passages filled with sculpted rock, whirlpools and a roaring underground waterfall.
Your experienced and friendly guide will share the fascinating history of the cave and point out interesting highlights along the way.
The highlight of the tour is when you transfer to a small boat in a silent secluded grotto inhabited by hundreds of tiny glowworms, unique to New Zealand - a truly extraordinary sight.
There is time for an optional short nature walk in view of the lake edge.
After a dazzling tour you can reflect upon your experience on the return cruise to Te Anau.

super activité. visite d'une grotte avec la rivière de nuit. voir une tonne de vers luisants au plafonds en se baladant sur l'eau dans le noir, juste magnifique.
On m'avait chaudement recommandé de faire cette excursion. J'ai presque préféré la balade en bateau jusqu'à l'entrée de la grotte que la grotte en elle-même. J'ai aperçu assez peu de vers luisants. Le guide donne des explications incompréhensibles car ça résonne... Et mon niveau d'anglais n'est pas mauvais. Donc j'étais vraiment déçue par la visite. Disons que c'est sympa mais beaucoup trop cher pour le résultat.
Fantastic from beginning to end. The tours guides were lovely funny and knowledgeable. Loved the glow worms. Beautiful
It’s very bad experience. The info provided was misleading and my son was refused to get onboard, and the boat left without telling us. We bought 3 tickets and none of us were provided service. So we paid for nothing.
