About Te Anau

Te Anau, a charming town on the shores of Lake Te Anau, offers an unforgettable experience amidst breathtaking natural beauty. The standout attraction is the majestic Milford Sound, a fjord carved by ancient glaciers and now a haven for kayaking, boat cruises, and scenic flight tours. One unique aspect that draws travelers to this serene town is the opportunity to kayak beneath the glowworms at the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, an enchanting experience that's both thrilling and peaceful. The best time to visit Te Anau is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) when the weather is mild and the scenery is spectacular. For first-timers, consider renting a car to explore the surrounding national parks, including Fiordland National Park, which offers numerous hiking trails and breathtaking views, but be mindful of the narrow mountain roads and limited mobile coverage.
