Katelyn & Toby’s Guide to Te Anau
Tourism
Head off to the famous Glow Worm Caves. A 30min trip across Lake Te Anau by boat, an hour in the caves immersed by glow worms and rushing waterfalls, followed by your return to Te Anau. Great for families (recommend kids being 5 or older due to darkness).

The eighth wonder of the word? This is a must do day trip - taking in the many stops on your way to Milford such as mirror lakes or the roaring chasms. In Milford, book a cruise and see the beautiful scenery and wildlife (seals, dolphins, maybe even a whale). You will need a day for this. Drive yourself or consider booking through Real Journeys or Southern Discoveries.

Stunning Doubtful Sound is a day experience for everyone. Take the trip across Lake Manapouri, tour the underground powerstation, bus across Wilmer Pass and then enjoy your afternoon in the beautiful Doubtful Sound aboard one of the cruise boats. Dolphins are almost guaranteed as well as seals, birdlife and great sights.

A moderate walk starting at 'The Divide' shelter (the beginning of the Routeburn Track at the Milford Road end), takes you up to Key Summit over 2.5 hours return. Stunning views into Milford and over to Lake Marion. We have done this with a 6 month old on the shoulders of mum so it isn't too difficult, just enough to get the heart going. 1 Hour drive from Te Anau to the start of the track.

여행 팁
교통편
Walking is best.
Enjoy Te Anau on foot through the main town, take in the shops or enjoy a coffee at one of the various cafes. A stroll along the lake front is amazing on a clear day.
준비물
Jacket is a must.
Te Anau is on the edge of the Southern Alps and in a matter of minutes you can go from bikini weather to jacket weather - the latter is a must to pack.
