Antoine was a great guide, attentive and knowledgeable. We did the Waitomo Glowworm experience in New Zealand a week before doing this tour and this one is so much better. We were able to get much closer to the Glowworms and photograph them. Antoine also gave us ten times more information on the Glowworms and answered all our questions. The hike to the waterfall/Glowworms was a great adventure in itself. Could not recommend this tour enough.

Fantastic experience with Antoine! He is extremely knowledgeable, not just about the glow worms, but about the surrounding woods and animals as well. I learned a ton and loved that we got to get up close and personal with the worms. This is a must do during your time in Sydney!

Interesting night hike. The guide knows what he is talking about . Very professional and fun. We did spend quite some time in the cave enjoying the sight in silent. The absolute silent that let your experience sight in a different environment that you cannot imagine. You never felt so blind or so sighted before! Short way in and out. Just make sure u get a good pair of shoes that is not slippery as the caves is damp! Not the ordinary blue mountain you thought u have seen. I have gone on other glow worm tour but this guide makes it interesting and make it more like a discovery tour! All simple and natural like how nature should be !

Amazing little side trip to the Blue Mountains to see glow worms up close. ~30 minute night hike (headlights provided) behind a waterfall to see these fascinating organisms! It was like walking into space and being surrounded by stars. Extremely impressive! Usually, these tours only run on select days of the week, but with a quick email, they opened a tour on another day that worked for me on request. Excellent customer service and communication. Great, knowledgeable guide. 100% would recommend!! Btw, don't cancel if it's raining - the glow worms love the rain and mist!!

We truly appreciated this opportunity to see something we had never seen before. Antoine provided excellent information and insight into the lives of the glow worms. The tour was very interesting and would definitely recommend it.

The glow worms are amazing! It's well worth the drive from Sydney. And, seeing the sugar glider on the hike back to the van was a sweet bonus.

Absolutely magical! The cave was like stepping into a galaxy—glow worms lit up the darkness like stars scattered across the sky. It felt as if you could reach out and touch the cosmos. Our guide, Antoine, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fun facts that made the experience even more memorable. A must-do for nature lovers and dreamers alike!

A great experience. Antoine kept us on time, efficient and safe. Very cool being able to see the worms.

The glow worms were beautiful! It looked like the cave was full of constellations! The tour guide was very kind, engaging, and educational.
Arielfuad_Z, Sep 2025
While the drive to the spot was longer than the outdoor trip, the guide was kind and had lots of information about the area and wildlife and even answered stuff unrelated to the tour whenever we wanted to hear random facts. Looking at the glowworms at the cave was like looking at a miniature night sky full of stars and will probably be a memory that will stay with me long after this vacation ends.

Kunal was our guide on this Blue Mountains tour. He was very informative and kept us on schedule without rushing. We got to do everything that was offered and fed baby kangaroos at Sydney Zoo. A very fun day tour for young and old.
Faith_M, Sep 2025
This is a one of a kind experience with an awesome guide. He knows the glow worms really well and makes sure we are respect them. Highly recommend this tour.
Annie_R, Aug 2025
Awesome experience! A must do while in Sydney . Our guide Antoine was very knowledgeable about glow worms. We thought we were signing up for a quick tour but it is about a 5 hour commitment. However, we really enjoyed it and are so happy this was recommended to us. Bring a raincoat just in case!
Beth_P, Feb 2025
What a stunning experience! The glowworms were absolutely breath-taking so this experience just can’t be missed. Come prepared for a hike, sleep in the van, and you are in for a wonderful experience that will live on in your memories!
Callum_H, Feb 2025
From start to finish this tour was amazing, absolutely worth the money and recommended to anyone that has the chance to take part. Our guide, Antoine, was very professional, very well informed and made us all feel very welcome and safe, allowed breaks whenever we needed them and helped us navigate the track with ease. The glow worms themselves were a surreal experience and seeing them light up the cave like a starry night sky was amazing. I can't recommend this tour enough, it is absolutely worth the money.

Fabulous experience, well worth staying up late for. Antoine took very good care of us on our small group night hike. His explanation of the glow worms and their environment was incredibly interesting.
Margarita_R, Dec 2024
The experience was amazing, with a night sky visible inside the cave. The company was fantastic, especially the guide who communicated everything clearly, assisted people along the way, and shared extensive knowledge about the glowworms.
It's worth mentioning that navigating to the pickup spot wasn't the most enjoyable. This is likely due to the platform's primary target being hotels in the city. A designated pickup area would be helpful.
Megan_H, Dec 2024
Such a cool thing to see - and learn about! Great short hike to the cave at night (headlamps provided), with interesting facts about the glow worms once in the cave! Anton was fantastic - start to finish!
Stanley_Y, Oct 2024
It is just so unique and special, you walk into the cave with an orange light on and then when you turn it off you see the glowworms. Our guide was very informative and attentive to our safety since we were walking in the dark.
Kyle_S, Oct 2024
Memorable experience. Guide was ontime and answered any questions. Guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the glow worms.

Had a great time learning about the glow worms and nature in Blue Mountains. Photos don’t do them justice so I recommend seeing them in person.
Haruto_Y, Sep 2024
It was a wonderful tour. I had a very exciting adventure thanks to the perfect assistance of our guide. Also, the view of the glow worms was spectacular, and I will never forget that feeling. Anyway, I had a great trip.
Peyton_R, Aug 2024
Had a great experience. Fun hike into the night. By far the coolest glow worm experience. After doing different glow worm tours this one is the best by far. Get super close to where you can actually see them moving.
Sakurayuki_S, Jul 2024
Glad to take this tour as we can deeply feel the Greatness of God by seeing these beautiful creatures in the cave and everywhere around the cave - they are glowing and it feels amazing. We also experienced hiking in the night in easy and safe level. Comfy big car taking us in team to the cave. The tour guide is informative. What an awesome experience!

An experience of a life time and one of the best tours we've ever been on! To start our night, we were picked up at our hotel, which was a huge plus! We reached our destination outside of Sydney, were given headlamps, and began our night hike through the forest. It was so magical quietly hiking through the dark! Antoine (our tour guide) kept tabs on all of us and adjusted our hiking to accommodate the different needs of our group. He was serious about safety but had a great sense of humor! We descended many steps, traversed some small bridges, and ended at a cave with a waterfall. We turned off our headlamps, sat quietly, and allowed the magic to happen around us! Antoine explained the life cycle of the glow worm and gave information about their fascinating lives - we learned a lot! Antoine took us by pairs and showed us the glow worms' webs up close. When it was time to go, we hiked back the way we came. The hike wasn't too rigorous, but did require us to go up and down stairs and rocks and uneven terrain, so some degree of mobility is necessary. We went in July during rain showers and had a spectacular time! We were beyond satisfied with our experience!
Rachelle_B, Jul 2024
This is one of our most memorable experience in Sydney! It’s amazing to know how the glow worms evolved. Antoine is a great guide and full of knowledge. We felt safe and secured during the tour. Highly recommended!
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 !!
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!
Christian_D, Apr 2024
The guide was very knowledgable and explained many things during our walk. I would recommed that experience to everyone 👍
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!
