Te Anau Glowworm Caves

Take a 30-minute leisurely cruise across Lake Te Anau before disembarking in the wild.

You will enter The Cavern House for an informative presentation from our knowledgeable nature guides, who will give you a heads up on what it is you're about to witness! The glowworms within these underground caves are beautiful, but also super interesting and maybe even a little bit gross! From here, you can take a walk through the native forest and then enter the underground cave system, following rushing waterfalls and crystal-clear water right into the heart of darkness that the glowies call home.

You will take a small boat in the pitch black to float amongst a living galaxy before heading back to Te Anau with your new-found trivia.

Please note, this activity is not suitable for:

• Small children or people with mobility issues. The walk through the caves requires bending over, and you are required to be completely silent in pitch-black darkness.
