Te Anau Glow Worm Caves Tour

Cross Lake Te Anau on the luxury catamaran Luminosa and travel to Cavern House on the lake’s western shores, where this tour begins. From there, the Te Anau caves system opens into an underground world shaped by rushing water, with a setting that feels cool, dark, and quietly dramatic from the first steps inside.

As you move through the cave system, the sound of fast-flowing water echoes through the passages, adding to the sense of being deep beneath the surface. The experience then shifts completely as you drift in silent darkness to view glittering glowworms in an underground cave system. Thousands of tiny lights shimmer overhead, creating a calm, focused moment that contrasts with the power of the water heard earlier in the tour.

This trip is designed to appeal to visitors of all ages and combines a scenic lake crossing with a cave experience that is both active and peaceful in different parts. Please arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled departure to allow time for check-in.
