Blue Mountains Glow Worm Tours

Experience one of the most fascinating tours in the Blue Mountains

Join a small, personal tour group and embark on a nocturnal adventure into a world of glowing lights. Walking through the bush, feel the excitement build as first glimpses of the Glow Worms can be spotted through the trees.

Climb down to the bottom of an ancient sandstone canyon and follow its twists and turns to the main Glow Worm viewing area. In this natural amphitheatre, sit and wait in silence as thousands of Glow Worms begin to appear like stars around you.

Learn all about Glow Worms, their life-cycles and interesting behaviours during an interactive biology lesson.

Ask your own questions to discover the truly bizarre and unique details - including HOW and WHY they produce light.

Positioned underneath a densely populated glow worm overhang, our custom-built viewing platform allows you and your friends to climb up for a very personal experience with the Glow Worms!

No other tour or in Australia lets you get so close to Glow Worms in their natural habitat. Leaning in only inches away, watch the intricate and sticky Glow Worm webs dangling down from the rocks.

If you're lucky you might see a Glow Worm wriggling back and forth in its web! Up this close you will be surprised at how many more Glow Worms are visible – and how bright they are!

Glow Worms are a naturally occurring phenomenon and the intensity of their display can be affected by uncontrollable environmental conditions.
