  • Enjoyed this experience. Felt the guide was a bit lack lustre..maybe having done the job too many times and no passion but was interesting. It is a quick tour which is ok but would not have minded...

  • Well laid out in some reclaimed forest. Story around the glow worms was interesting as was actually seeing them. The guide was passionate about the worms. Definitely something you do not see often.

  • Experience was great and the tour was very informative. Tour guide was brilliant and although it’s a small tunnel, it’s definitely worth the visit. There’s a frog hollow area to see too whilst you’re there. The glow worms cave is man-made, and some of the photos are misleading, however it's a nice tour and great to see. Only downside was the parking lot, with one particular curb poking out which drivers should be aware of (we saw 2 cars near us hit the curb poking out, one taking damage).
  • The glow worms are simply stunning to view, never realised how tiny and intricate they are - or how endangered! The tour guide was so funny and yet raised some very valuable points about our ecological systems that we hadn’t considered before. He was also very patient and happy to answer questions. The frog exhibit after was a lot of fun and we loved seeing the different breeds and their history. Very affordable, lovely merchandise to purchase, and disability friendly too which is great. Can’t take photos of the glow worms in the cave (because a, it can kill them and b, go visit yourself?) but got one of first cave area to give you an idea. There are rails to hang onto if you want and everyone has a little glow in the dark piece so you don’t get lost - not that you really can but helps if you have a fear of the dark
  • Absolutely amazing the glow worms cave. I love it great experience with group of people on tour inside the glow warms cave. Was rainy day didn’t walk around much but still make it to see the magic worms in the dark. Next going again when nice sunny day for sure. 😊
  • Great little outing especially for families. Definitely a once in a lifetime need to see experience. Fascinating and informative. Supporting conservation of the species is something I was happy about. It's not an all day experience but lovely none the less.
  • A great activity to bring the family or a date. The glow worms are really amazing and the conservation work is good to support. A beautiful location tucked away and serene. There's food and wine tasting near by as well. There's a little park with benches near the creek and a reptile exhibit. The chocolate port was to die for. It had a really strong chocolaty flavour without being too sweet or having a strong punch from the alcohol.
