Enjoyable tour - Enjoyed the ferry trip across Te Anau Lake to get to the Cave & back. From the staff at the reception to the tour guides on the ferry & at the cave were friendly & had good sense of humour. The young German female tour guide at the cave helped us feel at ease going into the dark cave with heavy rushing water below us. Was short but still incredible seeing these glow worms in their element. The evening tour was a good way to end the day too

Fantastic tour - The caves were amazing and the boat ride through the caves was equally as amazing. We were very lucky to see dolphins and a rainbow across a couple of the waterfalls, stunning.

Magical - The boat ride across the lake was fun and informative and the glow worm caves were beautiful complete with rushing water and a small waterfall.I think it should be stated that you cant take photos in the caves at the time of ticket purchase. i understand the reason for this but was a bit disappointed all the same. Guides were friendly and professional
