Activities in Te Anau

Te Anau Glowworm Caves

The RealNZ Te Anau Glowworm Caves tour is a journey beneath the surface of Fiordland, into a world shaped by water and lit by nature’s smallest wonders. Your adventure begins with a scenic cruise across Lake Te Anau, where mountains rise from the water’s edge and the air feels fresh and still. On the far shore, guides lead you to the cave entrance — a hidden gateway into an ancient underground labyrinth.

The experience is both peaceful and awe-inspiring, a moment of quiet connection with Fiordland’s hidden magic.

RealNZ – Patea (Doubtful Sound) Cruises
