Experience a mysterious underground world of rushing water before drifting in silent darkness beneath the luminous shimmer of hundreds of glowworms.
Highlights
- Cruise across Lake Te Anau
- Guided tour of the caves by path, and by small boat in the grotto
- Complimentary hot drinks
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.

Lohnt sich nicht!
Die Tour ist total überteuert da real journeys der einzige Anbieter ist und ist das Geld nicht wert, auch nicht bei einem Angebot über bookme. Die Fahrt zur Höhle war total unspektakulär und die Höhle an sich ganz nett aber auch nichts besonderes, die Glühwürmchen kann man ja an vielen Stellen in NZ gratis in der Natur bewundern. Die restliche Zeit wurde mich Ach und Krach noch durch eine Art Museum aufgefüllt, ich fand es total langweilig und habe es als rausgeschmissene Zeit und Geld empfunden.

Disappointing
I remember doing this as a kid and was excited to take my kids to experience it. Unfortunately it was a big let down. It's way overpriced for what you get (even one of our guides agreed with me about price). We did a lot of activities while on our trip and this ended up being the most expensive but the most disappointing. There definitely should be an opportunity for a photo stop, even if it's just at the first platform once in the caves. There is so much artificial light and a lot of noise going on so to say no photos because of the light or noise is bull. Just turn the flash off! The staff were friendly and the boat ride comfortable but I definitely wouldn't be recommending it. There seemed a lot less glowworms to what I remember as a kid 😞

Tolles Erlebnis - toller guide Hari
Mit dem Katamaran über den Lake Te Anau gehts zur Höhle. Die Höhle ist unglaublich schön, im hinteren Teil schwebt man in einem Boot unter einen Lichtermeer aus Millionen von glowworms. Hari ist ein fantastischer Guide, der neben interessanten Fakten immer einen Spaß macht. Danke!
