Highly recommended - Antoine was an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, funny, and clearly experienced. He knows everything about the local wildlife and shared fascinating facts in a way that was easy to follow and genuinely entertaining. The highlight was when he led us to the cave behind the waterfall where the glowworms were absolutely amazing — a truly magical sight. One of the most memorable tours we've ever been on. Highly recommended!

Mesmerizing experience - 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!

Good nature short hike , professional guide - 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 !

Better than Waitomo!!! - 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.

An exquisite night adventure to see glow worms! - 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!!

The glow worms are... - 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.

A unique and amazing experience - My husband and I loved this tour. The experience of being under a cave behind a Waterfall with the glow worms as our only light was surreal and a great experience. Only 2 countries in the world they exist, Australia and New Zealand so this was too good to pass. The guide was helpful, he has great knowledge of nature and wildlife and shares his knowledge well. Our guide Antoine was happy to take extra time on the tour so we could experience this as a small group of only 8 people and waited for any other groups to leave before we went there. This tour is not as well known as other tours in the blue mountains, it avoids crowds and much more relaxed. I fully reccomend this tour, especially to anyone that likes nature looking for a unique experience. Thanks for a great experience Antoine!

Highly recommended this unique experience - Antoine did a great job safely driving our small group to the trailhead and getting us down the muddy trail in the rain. The glow worms were incredible, like constellations of stars under the overhang behind the waterfall. We were back in Sydney by 1 AM.
