When they tell you to duck your head walking in the cave: Duck!! Very low ceiling and other half is tall and didn’t duck low enough. It’s interesting. Have been before, but other half hadn’t.
Amazing !

The glow worm caves was pretty good, the glow worm section stretched for quite a long while- you see this via a boat of 12 people max, in darkness. (It was like being at a theme park). I had seen glow worm caves prior in Tasmania (Aus) but that was a small section compared to this one in Te Anau. The cruise to get to the cave was stunning in views, very serene
Caves are Cool

Children will need to be quiet in the caves, guide is great with the toddlers for this. Enjoy the darkness.
