Visit the Te Anau Glowworm Caves – an underground network of limestone caves lit by thousands of glowworms. In the darkness they produce a glittering display. Carved out by the force of the river, the underground world is surprisingly beautiful with whirlpools and roaring waterfalls. Begin with a scenic cruise across Lake Te Anau and then our nature guides will take you through the caves in small groups and in boats. Departs Te Anau.
