Be ready for pickup at your central Gold Coast hotel in the early evening, and travel inland to Springbrook National Park. This protected Queensland oasis offers an abundance of hiking trails through the ancient Gondwana rain forest and feels worlds away from the bustling beaches of the coast.
As darkness descends across the forest, use a provided flashlight to make a short trek to the Natural Bridge Cave, an impressive rock formation carved over thousands of years by the force of a waterfall. Today it’s home to a protected colony of glow worms, tiny creatures largely invisible during the daylight that put on a dazzling, luminous display after sundown.
Keep an eye out for other nocturnal wildlife such as bats, owls, and tree frogs as you listen to the sound of the forest coming alive all around you. Toward the end of the tour, there will also be an opportunity to switch off the flashlights and gaze up at the starry, unpolluted night sky before hopping back in the coach for the return drive to your hotel.

Glow worm tour
Morgan_M, Sept 2023
We loved this tour! Very unique experience that you can’t get much anywhere else! Hope to come back and do it again!! Star gazing was also fantastic!
Rubbish experience. Started our holiday off horribly
sarah_g, Oct 2021
We booked a tour. There was no tour guide details available. We arrived on site in the dark to a construction site. There was nothing there to tour. We were ripped off and given no info about who to meet or where just a time. Absolute rubbish. I will never book with you gain. Give me a refund now!
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Hi we are really apologies, as I sent email on that night, due to system error booking came thought to my system. Actually Glow Worm tour in that day was on request base, sorry for all the inconvenience caused. I will discuss with VIator this matter. Thanks
Enjoyable hike

We really enjoyed this tour. Our two boys 7 and 10 especially liked the commentaries and learning lots of interesting things on this tour. We completely geeked out on the science bit.

Truly amazing! Our tour guide also brought us for star gazing while up to the cave. The tranquility at the glow worm cave and the clear explanation by the tour guide made my experience an unforgetable one!

Stacy S, Mar 2016
This tour was great! I'd recommend it for people that want to see something different and unusual. We enjoyed the star gazing as well. We actually found out that the moon faces the opposite direction in Australia than it does in the northern hemisphere. Dinner was ok and the people were nice at the country club. If I had it to do over i'd skip the dinner and just take the tour.
Great experience, definitely...

Great experience, definitely something you can experience in only a couple places! I recommend wearing long sleeves, pants and covered shoes. They do provide little torches as a light to guide your way through the park at night. The drive to the national park does include a windy road so something to consider before going on the tour if you get motion sickness. Our tour guide, Darren, was a great tour guide and was very informative.
