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.

Enjoy a small-group guided tour of the Te Anau Glowworm Caves with your family, a 2.5-hour journey exploring New Zealand's famed subterranean wonder.

Begin with a scenic cruise across Lake Te Anau, leading to the Cavern House on the Western shore, featuring informative displays about the caves.

Venture into the heart of the Glowworm Caves, a mesmerizing natural light show created by bioluminescent gnats, a quintessential Fiordland experience.

Go on a serene forest walk with your guide, learning about native flora and fauna, before cruising back and enjoying complimentary tea or coffee.

Did you know? These caves are relatively young, at just 12,000 years old, and are still being sculpted by the river flowing within them.

Loved it! Loved the sailing across to the caves just as much as seeing and finding out all about these little critters. The crew and guides were personable and humorous. It was a fun and unique way to spend a couple of hours and I'd highly recommend it.

Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Glow maggots were fascinating and a bit gross! Very dark in cave so be careful. Well worth it for atmosphere and experience.

The cave with the river and waterfalls were amazing. The gloworms are not as impressive as Waitomo caves, but still beautiful to see. The staff are great and friendly
