Te Anau Glowworm Cave Tour

Your trip begins with a cruise to the western shores of Lake Te Anau on a purpose-built scenic cruise vessel. Deep inside the caves, beyond the roar of the water, you will be taken by a small boat into a silent hidden grotto inhabited by thousands of glow-worms, unique to New Zealand. In the subterranean darkness, they produce a glittering display that is nothing short of extraordinary.
