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.

We had an amazing experience visiting the glow worms at Te Anau with RealNz. Very informative staff and such an unforgettable experience seeing the glow worms, also getting to see Lake Te Anau on boat was also great! Highly recommend!

Amazing
This was a fantastic experience. Everything from boat ride over, walking to get to caves and in the caves. The internal waterfalls were unbelievable. The entire experience was well worth while. Staff were all super friendly and knowledgeable.
