Absolutely incredible! Get off the beaten path and join this tour to see the glow worms. The tour guide is incredibly knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He was very friendly and reassuring that none of the Aussie critters would get us, which put my mind at ease. I’m so glad I did this tour and would recommend it for anyone who wants to experience something incredibly unique.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !!

Wendy_C, Apr 2024

This classifies as one of my MOST memorable excursions while here in Australia . Antoine was an excellent guide wowing us with details of the flora and fauna . In addition to the glow worm treat, I got a lesson in soap making in the wild .. an EXTRA treat. I highly recommend putting this excursion on your “must do” list .. I can assure you .. it WILL be unforgettable !!

Learned a lot about Glow Maggots 🤭

Jianne_J, Apr 2024

The time we went was just after the typhoon that hit SYD. So the trail was different even for Anton who has been there forever. So, it was a nice little adventure! Happy to have had this tour!

Very nice experience

Christian_D, Apr 2024

The guide was very knowledgable and explained many things during our walk. I would recommed that experience to everyone 👍

Awesome night adventure in the Blue Mountains

Paul_K, Mar 2024

Our first scheduled attempt at this tour was cancelled due to weather; a thunder and lightning storm blew through the Blue Mountains. We rescheduled for a later date and this tour did not disappoint. We were picked up at our hotel and driven to an area that contains a cave and waterfall. Once we were there, it was an amazing site, one that my wife and I will always remember. Thanks Antoine!

Excellent guide, excellent vehicle, excellent glowworms, very safe, late night

Zhongling_Q, Mar 2024

The tour guy was very funny and experienced with the outdoors and the van was new and comfortable. The tour goes very late, getting back to the hotel at past 1am, but very worth it as long as you don't have anything planned early the next day and get enough rest the day of. The hike is very easy for almost everyone and the guide will help with some slippery parts. The glowworms themselves were impressive, and you could even get up close to a few of them with the help of the guide. We even got to see a lobster-like creature in the creek on the way to the glowworms. If you are worried about snakes, insects, or the dark, don't worry! The headlamps make the trail clear as day, and there wasn't even a mosquito in terms of critters. There were 9 people and the tour guide on the tour, which makes it a very personal experience but still enough people to not feel afraid on the trail.

Great

Incredible - don’t miss this

Kristina_C, Feb 2024

Our guide Antoine was incredible - he had an abundance of knowledge about the glowworms, as well as the local plants and wildlife. Even though it was dark, he found animals for us to spot on our trek to the glow worms! This was a fantastic tour and an incredible highlight of my entire Sydney trip.

Once in a lifetime tour!

Perfect experience

Callan_S, Jan 2024

Absolutely loved every part of this experience. Antionne made it very fun and inclusive for everyone involved while being supportive and caring for everyone’s safety. He shared great educational information about the gloworms and other various animals and survival tips. Overall perfect experience and would definitely go again sometime.

Wonderful Guide and great experience

SengChun_T, Dec 2023

On December 8th, we had an excellent tour with our guide, Antoine. He provided clear instructions and shared his knowledge in an engaging manner. Antoine was a professional guide, consistently prioritizing our safety. Both my 17-year-old and 12-year-old kids thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The glow worm cave was truly magnificent. Additionally, on our return route, the guide imparted some survival skills, including a unique experience of "plant tasting."

Excellent nature tour

PuiYee_L, Dec 2023

Interesting tour with seasoned wildlife tour guide with caring and safety mind. A cave is full of our target - glow worms, which like a starry night.

Knowledgeable and jokester

Justin_A, Dec 2023

One in a lifetime experience. With some fun and knowledge not only on the hike but also on the ride to the hike. Thank you so much for the memorable hike.

Richer in Glow Worm Experience

Jenna_G, Dec 2023

Best night of my life. The glow worms were lit. They shined brigher than I could have even hoped for. Antoine taught us everything we know about how to survive in the woods.

Lots of fun

Katerina_A, Nov 2023

Great service and experience by our tour guide. A lot of fun but people of any age or fitness level.

Convenient and Fun!

Sude_I, Nov 2023

The whole experience was very convenient and fun. The tour guide was extremely reassuring and helpful. The hike was easily doable even though we weren’t very experienced hikers. Would recommend this to anyone.

Beautiful sight

Sofiya_P, Nov 2023

Thank you! Really loved you showing us the glow worms last night. Our guide showed us how to see the details of the little “ string webs” that they create to be able to catch their prey. Communication was clear and he was willing to work with individual request and meet us at different locations. Thank you again.
