Witness the magical brilliance of the Te Anau Glowworm Caves on this complete day excursion. After a scenic cruise of Lake Te Anau you will enter the twisting network of limestone cavers to witness a display like no other. Marvel as the tiny glowworms like up the cave system, this is an experience not to be missed!
An excursion to the Te Anau Glowworm Caves begins with a cruise across spectacular Lake Te Anau on a purpose-built scenic cruise vessel. After disembarking on the western shores, there is time to view the informative displays at Cavern House before your friendly nature guide accompanies you into the caves in a small group.
This underground world is astonishingly beautiful. By geological standards the caves are very young (12,000 years old) and are still being carved out by the force of the river that flows through them. The result is a twisting network of limestone passages filled with sculpted rock, whirlpools and a roaring underground waterfall.
Deep inside the caves, beyond the roar of the water, you will be taken by small boat into a silent hidden grotto inhabited by thousands of glowworms. In the subterranean darkness, they produce a glittering display that is nothing short of extraordinary.
