Te Anau: Glowworm Caves Guided Tour

Te Anau: Glowworm Caves Guided Tour - Entering the cave system: limestone, low ceilings, and loud water

1.Te Anau: Glowworm Caves Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,611 reviews · 2h 15m · from $77Our pick

Lake Te Anau cruise and guided cave walk end in a pitch-black glowworm boat ride, hot drinks, and Fiordland geology tips.

“Amazing experience which exceeded my expectations. The check in process in Te Anau was simple. The 30 minute boat ride across Lake Te Anau was via a very comfortable catarmaran. The views of the South Fiord and the Lake were spectacular. But the glow worm caves were the star attraction and they did not disappoint. We went into the caves in small groups of 12. The caves themselves were gorgeous and lighted to accent the rock formations. The river coursing throw the caves was crystal clear with waterfalls. We boarded a small boat to see the cave walls covered in glow worms. Something out of a fairy tale. There was…”

2.Lake Tekapo: Alpine Stargazing Experience with a Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 626 reviews · 1h 15m · from $59

Stargaze in Tekapo’s dark sky reserve with a small-group guide, 14-inch telescope, farm views, and a complimentary photo link.

“The laser pointers were really cool and helped myself and my wife (who is visually impaired) track what the guide was talking about. He was clearly knowledge, clearly cared about stargazing and made special efforts to make sure my wife got the most out of the experience, especially with the telescope. The experience also included a high quality photo of us against the night sky, which while posted online (on Flickr) will still be gracing our wall when we return. Overall an incredible evening and well worth the money”

Guided eBike Tour ‘Ride to the Sky’

Guided eBike Tour 'Ride to the Sky' - The uphill work: eBikes help, but you still get a workout

5.Guided eBike Tour ‘Ride to the Sky’

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 175 reviews · from $152

Guided eBike climb to Grants Peak near Queenstown, with Moustache bikes, private trail access, and 360 views over Wakatipu Basin.

“A few years older and carrying a few pounds this ‘intermediate’ challenge was tough even with Ebike but the rewarding, spectacular views along the way and euphoria on reaching the summit was more than ample reward for the energy expended. Tour guide John was informative and inspiring in equal amounts giving motivating comments when I stopped too long for a rest. Definitely a recommendation from me, you’ll find life in the old dog yet!”

Glide along Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown Gardens on a guided Segway tour, with training, helmets, and standout mountain photo spots.

“This was pretty fun. Although I love seqways so this was an easy one to enjoy. Wish it was more of a tour rather than just a ride. We haven't really stop at places to talk about them, it was just training time which was nearly one hour and then the ride to the park and back, for another hour-ish. Loved the speedy ride at the end tho.”
