Glow-worm adventure by night
Wildscape Adventures leads a five-hour evening excursion from Sydney to a forest cave with a waterfall and glow worms. Red-mode headlamps and a qualified outdoor instructor are included. The provider does not publicly name the cave, so this should not be confused with a guaranteed visit to Wollemi’s Glow Worm Tunnel.
An independent comparison by Blue Mountains Tours. Not operated by or endorsed by the tour operator.
Is this the right tour for you?
Visitors comfortable hiking in darkness who want an experience beyond daytime lookouts. Dark, uneven terrain; neither a sunset sightseeing route nor the named Glow Worm Tunnel is guaranteed.
Follow the guide’s instructions on torch use and avoid illuminating the colony directly. This five-hour outing is not a full daytime Blue Mountains highlights tour.
