RealNZ - Te Anau Glowworm Caves

Highlights

Cruise across Lake Te Anau
Guided tour of the caves by path, and by small boat in the grotto
Complimentary hot drinks

Your magical journey begins in Te Anau with a relaxing cruise to the glowworm caves onboard one of our purpose-built scenic cruise vessels.

Relax on board, enjoy the scenery as we cruise to the western shores of Lake Te Anau. There is no road access to the Te Anau Glowworm Caves.

Upon arrival at the glowworm caves, you'll meet your guide and be able to view the interesting displays in Cavern House and learn about this mysterious underground world.

Venturing underground in small groups, you will soon appreciate that the Te Anau Glowworm Caves date back over 12,000 years and are home to a vast network of twisting limestone passages filled with sculpted rock, whirlpools and a roaring underground waterfall.

Your experienced and friendly guide will share the fascinating history of the cave and point out interesting highlights along the way.

The highlight of the tour is when you transfer to a small boat in a silent secluded grotto inhabited by hundreds of tiny glowworms, unique to New Zealand - a truly extraordinary sight.

There is time for an optional short nature walk in view of the lake edge.

After a dazzling tour you can reflect upon your experience on the return cruise to Te Anau.

Great

出示訂單編號或名字即可在RealNZ遊客中心櫃台兌換QRcode票登船，人多會分小組(約12人一組)進洞穴，沒有輪到的組別要在小木屋等待，期間會有不同導遊講解各類知識，例如紐西蘭鳥類、蟲的發光原理介紹等，很感謝一位嚮導推薦我們去Te Anau Bird Sanctuary參觀，活著的Takahe超可愛。隔壁小房間也有簡單的展覽可以參觀，餓了還有飲料(咖啡&茶)可享用，等待真的不用怕無聊。洞穴裡面的景觀蠻精彩的，導遊因為沒有麥克風，需要大聲說話才能讓大家聽到，辛苦他們了，介紹非常仔細、專業，。重頭戲的螢火蟲是真的很漂亮的，尤其在非常靜默且搭乘獨木舟的情景下看，是非常特殊的體驗，推薦大家來試一試。
