What are people saying about Te Anau Glowworm Caves

Monica_S, Mar 2026

The glow worms are so...

The cave is so cool and the guides knew a lot about the wildlife and geology. Very interesting to learn about and cool to see.

Bree_B, Mar 2026

It’s was a wonderful...

It’s was a wonderful experience. My partner and I, didn’t know what to expect but even with small patches of glowworm clusters, it was breathtaking. The silent boat ride allowed you to really take in the scenery!

Kimberly_T, Mar 2026

Glow worms

I was not expecting the glow of the worms to be like fiber optics but it is what it is. Cave was quite nice as well as the dark boat ride.

Ali_A, Mar 2026

A beautiful and...
