The trip to the cave over Lake Te Ans the visit of the cave is definitely worth a visit. The cave in itself is already amazing and the trip by boat in the cave in complete darkness with the glow worms above is absolutely worth it. However you share this experience with quite a big group and the tour guides seem a little exhausted after the third or fourth tour, which is understandable.

Thoroughly recommend - the cruise across the lake is great. Then a short walk to an area you where you are briefed and then smaller groups taken in to the cave. The walk in the cave was interesting, listening to the rushing water. Then into the small boat for a short cruise under the glow worms. Very informative and enjoyable. Then a lovely cruise back across the lake. All in all just over 2 hours for the experience. Thoroughly enjoyed it

The glow worm cave tour was excellent. The cruise to/from the caves was very pleasant and scenic, the tour of the caves was amazing and the guides were very informative. I would definitely recommend this tour when visiting Te Anau

This was a must do activity in Te Anau. We went by boat from the visitors centre in Te Anau Town. When we arrived we were provided some education and visited the glowworm in their caves. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures but the interior of the caves with water rushing through was amazing along with the glowworms. I was in awe of how many there were and the kight they produced. It was like looking in the sky at all the stars. You must do this activity.

First encountered the caves 24 years ago and each time we've visited it has remained a special experience. Just the cruise across Lake Te Anau is worth it with some beautiful scenery but the glow worms are spectacular, too. The underground boating trip is great,. The numbers on the tours are high but the whole operation runs very smoothly.

Highly recommend this tour, staff were friendly and informative. The caves were incredible and we were surprised to see so many glow worms so close. My partner has done the Waitomo caves and he said the Te anau one is much better. It's a beautiful experience.

Definitely don't miss this chance to check out this fantastic cave! Scenic boat ride across the lake followed by a small guided group tour through this unique cave. Even if you've seen glowworm before this cave is different and the short boat ride at the end in the pitch black is memorable. Well worth it thanks!

This was a surprise highlight of our stay in Te Anau. The guide at the caves was excellent, delivering interesting insight and guidance with enthusiasm and a nice element of fun. Seeing first-hand how the underground water flows had carved out the caves over thousands of years was fabulous and then witnessing the glowworms themselves in total darkness was magical. The visit was completed with a brief but fascinating presentation on the glowworms while we enjoyed a complimentary hot drink. Overall, our visit to the Glowworm Caves pleasantly exceeded expectations and I would highly recommend

Took the 30 minute ferry ride over to the caves. After a short walk we were split into groups of 12 and given an amusing commentary on what we could expect in the caves. Had a 20 minute walk through the caves with a lot of ducking and weaving. Quite exciting and very interesting. Lots of rushing water and bridges. Came to the highlight of the tour which was a boat which we all climbed into. Let me say at this point that if you are claustrophobic or scared of the dark, don't go. We settled in and then all the lights went out. Our guide pulled us along by an overhead rope whilst we banged into the walls of the cave. Overhead we could see what we came for, glow worms. All in all a good trip

We were not sure about this trip because we thought it would be a tourist trap with a few glowworms and a lot of darkness. We are glad we did the trip. It is amazing how many glowworms you can see. It is not only interesting but has a high fairy tale vibe. The guide on the underground boat was a real gem. Highly recommended ! Make reservations months in advance to be sure of your tickets.
