A very relaxing and interesting experience. The boat ride was very good and they explained some local history and features.nOur guide for the caves had a great sense of humor and was really good at explaining the cave structure and how the glow worms live.nIt was nice to get a hot cup of tea at the end of the tour and the presentation was very informative.nWe highly recommend doing this activity
Outstanding 2.5 hours - first a boat ride along Lake Te Anau in a large, smooth vessel with pleasant commentary, then a short briefing before an amazing walk into the caves. NOTE - twice you have to bend over double to enter the caves for approx 10m before you can stand upright again.nThe walk into the cave canyons, then waiting in complete darkness for the boat was eerie. A small barge is pulled along a wire by hand through incredible glowworms all over the roof.nFantastic !nInformative guide Orlando, great professional organisation NZ. Highly recommend !
Really nice tour and impressive caves! Their staff did a nice job of educating and having fun on the tour. The glow worms were cool to see. The $149 NZ was worth it in the end, although I had doubts.
This is a unique experience walking through limestone caves. The walkway is solid and safe. The waterfalls and torrents in the caves are impressive. And then there's the glow worms by the thousands as you guide gently steers your boat underneath them al in pitch darkness. Photos are not allowed but here is one on the way in. The trip to and from the caves on Lake Te Anau was beautiful the day I went.
Great adventure! The glow worms were super bright in the darkness. The boat inside the cave was definitely my favorite part. Pack a rain jacket or something warm because it is chilly inside and drops of water will fall on your head.
