I had the most beautiful evening on the Glow Worm, Rainforest & Waterfall Tour. The sights and scenery were absolutely stunning. Our wonderful guide, Doug, was deeply passionate about nature and culture, and this truly shone through in his work. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into the history of the land, as well as the importance of the rainforest and why it should be protected. I left the tour feeling very inspired by him. Thank you, Doug, for the experience of a lifetime.
Fantastic experience!

Fantastic experience! Our family ages ranged from 7 - 75 and all loved the experience. The grandparents (71 and 75) did find the night rainforest walking a little challenging due to the dark and uneven ground, but Douglas was very accommodating and a wonderful guide! We were lucky enough to see glowing mushrooms and glowworms as well as a blue yabby and python. The kids absolutely loved it. The food was great and we would highly recommend this fantastic and unique experience!
Amazing yet Heartbreaking story.

Our 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.

Really 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

Wasn’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!
