Review Te Anau Glowworm Cave Tour
Hop on a scenic cruise vessel and travel to the Glowworm Caves of New Zealand's Lake Te Anau on this half day tour! With your English-speaking tour guide, explore its complex limestone passages, see its many whirlpools, and marvel at its roaring underground waterfall. Learn about this relatively-young geological waterfall including its fascinating history. The tour concludes on a boat ride that will take you to a hidden grotto where thousands of glowworms live. Be amazed by the unique and natural glow that they display.

Worth the journey to have a look at the glow worms in pitch black darkness. The boat ride is about 45 mins each way. The walk into the cave wasn't that far as highlighted. The guides were excellent and friendly, providing entertaining explanations on the cave and the glow worms.

This trip exceeded our expectations! it was an amazing and unusual opportunity to go deep inside a cave system and observe glowworms. It was well organised and informative with small groups of 12 people being taken by a guide into the cave on a small boat. Our guide, Lucy, was excellent - she spoke clearly so everyone could hear, and was interesting and knowledgeable. The boat trip to and from the caves was also enjoyable and the views of Lake Te Anau were beautiful - we were lucky to have perfect weather! I would definitely recommend the Glowworm Cave Tour. It’s not allowed to take photos inside the caves, so the pictures are only of the journey to and from the caves..

Great experience seeing the glowworms in the cave. Took a cruise across Lake Te Anau to reach the glow worm cave. After some walking in the cave, we took a small boat in the cave to see the glow worms. It was amazing seeing them so up close.

A fantastic experience! I recommend choosing the sunset time so you can enjoy the sunset, daytime, and nighttime views from the boat. Although you can't photograph the fireflies, they are truly spectacular. Hot drinks are provided after the firefly viewing.

Take a boat from the pier and there will be a brief explanation. Afterwards, we took a boat into the cave. Everyone held their breath. The surroundings were filled with flickering blue light. It was quiet and mysterious. There will be hot cocoa afterwards, which is a highly recommended itinerary.

Seeing the fireflies was shorter than expected, but it was still beautiful. If you're afraid of the dark, don't go in. There's a lot of sand, so remember to wear long sleeves and pants. No photos are allowed inside.

A great experience. I strongly recommend that you must participate if you have the opportunity to come to the South Island. You can exchange your tickets at the ticket gate and take a boat to the glowworm cave. You can also have a clear understanding of the entire ecology👍

Take a boat to the wormhole across the lake. After the explanation, the leader will lead you into the cave. The number of fireflies in the cave is very large, like a sky full of stars. It is even more beautiful to enter with a small boat. This is a must-see trip. Present your Klook voucher at the counter to check in and exchange for a boarding pass. You can board the boat with the boarding pass. No photography or videography is allowed inside the cave.

well arranged your. good explanations. punctual departure. The small boat itself definitely help to get closer to the falls.
