great night experience if you want a laid-back tour
Hotel pick up is very convenient and Jamie our guide was very friendly and engaging as he took us to the near by national park. You get to do some wildlife spotting on your way to the glowworms too. Bring a camera that is good for low light conditions as you cant use flash. You then end the night with some dessert before being returned to your accomodation.

Awesome experience! Highly recommended! A must do tour!
A few pick up locations to choose from which is great! Joined the tour with 3 young kids (the youngest one is only 3.5) and we were wondering if they could manage the bush walk. Turned out it's a great experience to them. Very friendly (kid friendly too) and professional tour guide, Amber, whom you can tell how passionate she's in the nature. From the moment we stepped into the rain forest, Amber started to tell us all the knowledges about it. She kept looking for different natural features to show us. Often crack you a joke as well. It wasn't boring at all. The glow worms were fascinating to watch. Even though there was a bit of bush walk, everything worth it. After the walk, we enjoyed some very nice chocolate cake and hot drinks in a cafe nearby. Highly recommended to those who are in love with nature. Must wear shoes with non-slip sole as you will walk on wet surface
