A fun walk in the dark

5.00Our guide Chris was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about flora and fauna and gave a delightful rundown on the hippy origins of the area. Fabulous countryside on the ride there from Byron Bay and after a walk in the dark (fun) it was fascinating to see the glowworms closeup. This experience was well worth the investment.

5.00Really enjoyable experience - first time being in a rainforest at night. Lucky enough to see fireflies too. The guide was great and a nice way to spend the afternoon/evening
Tremendous tour!

5.00Wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but the tour was tremendous. Chris, the owner, was our driver and guide, and it was very obvious that he loves giving the tour and knows the area intimately. The waterfalls were great – was able to swim in the first one right under the waterfall –, the national park was amazing, as for the glow worms and fireflies. Would highly recommend this tour.
So much fun!

5.00I had my Medic Alert dog with me . Chris the tour guide made us feel very welcome and as I have a lot of Health problems he helped me get too the waterfalls and glow worms. I can not highly recommend this Tour enough. It was a great way to spend our second last last day in Byron Bay . It was a small group and everyone was so nice . The Tour Guide had so much local knowledge
Simply incredible 10/10!

5.00Definitely do this tour! We were unsure what to expect but it was absolutely amazing! Chris was extremely knowledgeable and had a real passion for his work which is great to see. Not only are the glow worms incredible in person (cameras don’t do them justice) the view coming out of the rainforest of the sky is amazing and we even saw a Python on the way back to our transport! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering
A truly unique experience that anyone passing through should try

5.00The most memorable experience i had in my 2 year Australia trip. Cristiano was an amazing guide and created a truly unique and spiritual experience. P.S : I've been looking for your playlist "way back" for years but can't find it, it's been stuck in my head for 3 years !
Douglas is the best guide ever! This was an experience not just a trip!
