Real Journeys

Explore the mysterious underground world of sculptured rock, rushing water, silent darkness and shimmering glowworms.

Your Te Anau Glowworm Caves adventure begins with a scenic cruise across Lake Te Anau to the western side of the lake.  Upon arrival there is time to view informative displays at Cavern House before our friendly guides invite you to accompany them underground in small groups. As you explore by path and small boat, your senses will be overwhelmed. 

It is an exciting environment, a mysterious world of rock formations, waterfalls, whirlpools and a 'cathedral' cavern with rock walls towering high above.

Observe how the rushing water sculpts the rock formations, before gliding through silent darkness to the glowworm grotto.  The delicate incandescence of thousands of tiny glowworms is a magical sight. 

On exiting the caves there is time available for an optional 10 minute walk along the lakeshore.
