The day ran extremely smoothly and was very well organised with very little waiting time between the boat across teh lake, the bus and then the boat on Doubtful Sound. Same applied for the return trip. Doubtful Sound is beautiful and although it maybe not quite as dramatic as Milford Sound, it certainly makes up for it for being a lot more quieter, we were the only boat on the day we went. We loved the part when they turn the motors off and ask everyone to enjoy the silence. The food and drinks on board were very good and reasonably priced. Commentary was great on each of the three legs of our journey. A thoughly enjoyable day and highluy recommended for those that want to get away from the croiwds of Milford Sound.

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 remote Doubtful Sound, reached via Lake Manapouri and Wilmot Pass, for two contrasting Fiordland days.

Cruise across Lake Te Anau and walk through a forest before entering caves illuminated by hundreds of glowworms.

Cross Lake Manapouri and travel over Wilmot Pass by coach before cruising through the remote waterways of Doubtful Sound.

Spot dolphins, fur seals, and Fiordland crested penguins in their natural habitat with insights from an experienced nature guide.

Enjoy complimentary tea or coffee on both experiences, with guided commentary and multilingual interpretation sheets on the Doubtful Sound cruise.

Do the glowworm caves and Doubtful Sound on separate days in any order, one booking secures both guided experiences plus cruises and coach travel.
