Travel from the town of Te Anau to New Zealand's famous underground network of glow worm caves nearby that is illuminated by the light of hundreds of native local glow worms! This glow worms tour will take you into their heart to view this amazing natural display up close. A must-do experience for anyone visiting the Fiordland region, the glow worm caves are located in the lower section of a much larger cave system which extends deep under the nearby Fiordland National Park and consist of a wondrous underground world of flowing water that plays home to hundreds of the shimmering glow worms.
The tour begins with a cruise across the smooth waters of Lake Te Anau aboard our purpose-built cruise vessel as we then disembark on the Western shores and take some time to view the informative displays at Cavern House before being accompanied by your friendly, experienced nature guide into the caves in a small group.

Great adventure for all ages and fitness levels. You may get a little wet and will definitely be looked after by lovely staff. Enjoy!
A 30 minute cruise to the caves, where the friendly, knowledgeable staff guide you into the caves, pointing out eel and trout in the rushing water. Then into the boats and darkness to experience the beauty of the glow worms. A short bush walk to the information centre, where you can have a warm drink and watch a really interesting video about the glow worms. Then cruise back to Te Anau. Very enjoyable.
