Description:

Enjoy a scenic cruise through calm waters before descending into the curious caves to see walls covered in the sparkles of glowworms. Led by an ecological expert, ride on a small boat into a hidden grotto and witness the glittering displays of thousands of these luminous insects.

Begin your experience with a ride across Lake Te Anau aboard a modern catamaran—The Luminosa. With a large outdoor deck, take in views of the charming blue waters while your guide share stories about the natural history and early settlements in the region.

Arrive at the Cavern House and make your way to Te Anau Glowworm Caves. Along the way, listen to a local ecology expert as they lead you through a detailed description of the cave and its various inhabitants. Wander through a twisting network of limestone passages filled with whirlpools and waterfalls—the perfect habitat for the alluring glowworm.

Continue deep underground, hop into a nimble vessel, and drift silently along a narrow river to a shimmering grotto. The intricate incandescence of countless illuminated creatures promises you an unforgettable and magical sight. Afterward, retrace your steps out of the caves and return to Te Anau by catamaran.
