A guided Glow Worm tour is a wonderful sightseeing option for those preferring scenic tours rather than an adventure activity. Glow worm tours are available during the afternoon and at night in several locations with tours offered on foot, on a small boat or even in a kayak.
Beneath the stunning mountain peaks, on the shores of beautiful Lake Te Anau, lies a network of fascinating underground limestone caves. On any one of these remarkable glow worm tours, you will have the chance to explore these caves and see the secret grottos, which are populated by thousands of tiny shimmering fluorescent glow worms, sparkling in their vast, underground constellations. These amazing little creatures are a wonder of nature and their presence will fill you with absolute delight!
The main focus of each of these tours are the glow worm caves and the amazing rock formations; however, you can also experience authentic Maori culture and cuisine in Rotorua, visit Hobbiton – where the movies, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, were filmed – or have a relaxing soak in some luxurious, hot geothermal pools on Lake Rotoiti.
If you are staying in Auckland or Rotorua then you can do a return day trip by coach to the world famous Waitomo caves to see the glow worms, one of New Zealand's most popular glow worm tours.
