Over priced, amd disappointing. The tour into the cave is quick (approx 25 mins) of a 2 hour trip. Other caves in NZ much much better, however if this is your first time, it's OK. Full review by mattpM5803GI

This was an absolutely amazing tour. The ferry ride was comfortable, but the guides leading us into the caves were great! They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. But the highlight was go… Full review by kimchicowboy

This is a brilliant experience with several openings every day. It began with a scenic cruise across Lake Te Anau during which a member of the crew gave a commentary about the lake, the surrounding … Full review by Shoalies
Is the morning tour at 745am or night tour at 930pm better? Just want to make full use of the price I'm paying for this tour.
A:
For 9.30pm tour, it’s a bit late and the sky becomes dark, thus you may not have good fjord view during the first 30mins of boat ride. However, if you prefer dinner first and tour later with …
For 9.30pm tour, it’s a bit late and the sky becomes dark, thus you may not have good fjord view during the first 30mins of boat ride. However, if you prefer dinner first and tour later with no consideration of view during boat ride, then 9.30pm should be ok with you.
Hi, we are visiting in January, do we need to pre book, do particular times sell out ? And if so how far in advance is necessary ?
A:
We didn't pre book anything except logging, and had no problems. There are several tours every day, and we are flexible. We booked when we arrived to TeAnau evening …
We didn't pre book anything except logging, and had no problems. There are several tours every day, and we are flexible. We booked when we arrived to TeAnau evening before, and got on the tour in middle of the day, since morning tours were booked. So if you have limited time and have a list of things you may want book early. The same with Milford sound, since we came to the office the evening we arrived in TeAnau, we could only get the boat tour, while the kayaking was booked.
Is this tour strenuous for people with walking impediments?
A:
Yes, in the caves it is very dark and walking on a steel cat walk path! It is narrow & quite unnerving! At the top there is a small raft type boat that cruises around the pitch black caves, …
Yes, in the caves it is very dark and walking on a steel cat walk path! It is narrow & quite unnerving! At the top there is a small raft type boat that cruises around the pitch black caves, difficult to get into even with help! Don't think I would go into the caves with the narrow cat walk with walking impediments! There is about a 1/2 hour ride on a boat to the Glow Worm Caves from the shore line of Lake Te Anau! We loved it, but lots of bending through the narrow caves!
