The scenic boat trip taking us to the cave was fun and informative, and there was lots of interesting information at the caves. The cave trip transitioned from thunderous water rushing all around to silent darkness with only the glow of the worms on the ceiling. It was truly awe-inspiring.

Something I would have never ever considered doing, but was honestly a once in a life time opportunity. As recommended by the tour guides, go in the summer months. The cruise was smooth, and relaxing, and to my surprise, we saw millions of glow worms in the caves. Highly recommend for those in Te Anau. The cave can be a little narrow, and there is a bit of bending to do at the start. But didn’t ruin the experience at all! The cruise inside the cave, to the see the glow worms was indescribable. Genuinely one of the best sights I’ve seen.

A very special experience- unique to New Zealand. Lake Te Anau is beautiful and the trip across it to the caves was a tour in itself. The boat was not overcrowded (although fully booked) with room to move around/go outside. At the caves we were split into groups none bigger than 14. The cave journey was mesmerising and a talk afterwards told us everything we could possibly want to know (and more!) about glow worms. Wrap up warm as cold & windy on boat and cool in caves.
