Te Anau Glowworm Caves, Te Anau

We were unsure about this tour due to the weather, but our expectations were definitely exceeded. The staff were really friendly and informative. The tour starts on a catamaran, then you dock on the other side of the lake (about 30 minute trip) followed by a debrief at a cosy hut (has a little shop and everything). Then you go in to the cave on foot over a walkway followed by a pitch black boat ride where you can only see the glow worms - amazing. Everything felt very safe and at the end a free hot drink is provided. If you are on the fence, I would recommend going on this tour, well worth it.

What an amazing adventure. We boarded the catamaran on the lake front, and were warmly greeted by the tour operators. The ride to the caves took about 40 minutes, but the trip was very enjoyable. I travelled with my 2 elderly parents, and they enjoyed the trip. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, with a very cultural interpretation of the caves, journey and wildlife. I highly recommend this journey to anybody, probably best if the kids are older than 10.
