An amazing cave with rushing stream and of course the glow-worms. Great guide who took us through the cave - partly walking and partly on a boat as we admired the tiny glow-worms.

This tour has it all, a perfect length cruise down the picturesque lake with some commentary from time to time about interesting locations or historical facts. A small forest walk through moss laden trees and across a babbling stream. Videos about our little 'stars' of the show, the glow worms. Caving, I was nervous I would be claustrophobic but it was fine, felt safe and well guided all the way. In my personal opinion you can't skip this if you visit Te Anau.

Une traversée en bateau décoiffante, des vues à couper le souffle et une plongée dans l'univers des vers luisants aussi étonnante que magique, le tout en compagnie de guides très sympathiques.

The Te Anau glow worm tour is a 100% must do! From the quick boat trip over to the caves with views of all the surrounding mountains, to the cave walk through and little boat inside the cave to see the worms in the dark, I couldn't recommend it anymore. We loved it!

The cruise across the lake is lovely and relaxing. The tour guides are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Going through the cave in the boat is magical and wonderful for all ages.

This was a return visit for us after our honeymoon 15 years ago. The crew of the boat through to the tour guides were all friendly and knowledgeable. And the tour through the caves was a fun experience. We enjoyed it just as much a second time! There are stairs along the sturdy walkways, but it's an easy walk for most .. only two low spots that require ducking quite low, but nothing too arduous.

Pair Te Anau's glowworm caves with an overnight Doubtful Sound cruise, a remote fiord that is larger and more secluded than Milford.

At Te Anau Glowworm Caves join a small-group guided tour with Lake Te Anau cruise, cave visit, forest walk, expert guide, tea and coffee included.

On Doubtful Sound cruise overnight with Lake Manapouri, coach transfers from Te Anau, nature guide, 3-course dinner, breakfast, tea and coffee.

Plan this over two days, combining the glowworm caves tour and Doubtful Sound cruise in one booking, with kayak or tender ride if weather allows.

Fabulous trip across the lake to the caves. The cave experience was awesome, so many glow worms and walking through the cave itself is beautiful.

Discover two of Fiordland's natural highlights with this combo, from the glowworm-lit chambers of Te Anau to an overnight journey through the remote waterways of Doubtful Sound. Explore underground caves on a small-group guided tour, then travel across lakes and rainforest-covered mountains before spending a night surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of one of New Zealand's most secluded fiords.Getting started

Getting started

Begin at the RealNZ Te Anau Visitor Centre for your Te Anau Glowworm Caves tour. After checking in, board a return cruise across Lake Te Anau to the Cavern House and caves on the western shore.

Relax with complimentary tea and coffee at the end of your cave visit, a chance to recap the glowworm experience with your group.
