What are people saying about Te Anau Glowworm Caves

Megan_J, May 2026

So much fun. Informative,...

So much fun. Informative, enjoyable day for our whole family. Boat ride over had great commentary and caves were equally as interesting in terms of commentary and observing the glow worms. Highly recommend.

Delyth_W, May 2026

Magical glow worm galaxy

Well worth it, better than I could have imagined! The numbers in the cave are limited to about 11 so it’s comfortable and safe. Magical boat ride under a galaxy of glow worms. We did this in silence.

Rashi_V, Apr 2026

Must

It is a must do. Very unique and wonderful. you may want to go without toddlers and kids as it can get really dark and kids get scared.
