    Our Nocturnal Glow-worm tour takes 2.5 to 3 hours and includes a 2 kilometer walk. We will depart from Rotorua in a minivan, small group (8 people). Depart times vary depending on season. Once there after a walk through the darkness of native bush you will be guided by the sound of running water. Soon towering banks will rise up around you. Then in this moment turn off your flashlight and you will not be disappointed. Literally thousands of glow worms lite up like night sky, forming their own constellations all around you. At any time of the year it is unlikely that the glow worms will be the only wildlife that you encounter. Wallabies and Possums patrol the area and their rustling, along with the eerie call of the morepork, will provide the sound effects for you night walk. Out of the forest the 'star' gazing is at is best on a clear dark night sky. Come along, soak up the atmosphere and learn about New Zealand's incredible night life.

Pünktlich zur vereinbarten Zeit sind wir mit insgesamt 8 Personen in den Kleinbus gestiegen. Die Fahrt war kurzweilig und die nächtliche Wanderung beeindruckend schön. Sternenklare Nacht, Wallabys im roten Licht der Taschenlampen, interessante Informationen zur Tier- und Pflanzenwelt und als Höhepunkt die Glowworms. Wir haben uns während der Tour sehr wohl gefühlt und waren überwältigt von den Eindrücken. Vielen Dank an Stephen, ganz besonders für die tollen Fotos!

It was an incredible experience. We walked through the dark forest with Stephen and he explained many different things which are typical for the region. The glowworms were beyond our expectations. We really recommend doing this tour when in Rotorua!

I took my 10 year old son hoping to have a pleasant time but Steven blew us away. It felt like we were being cooked for by someone in their home and they loved us. Every detail was genuine and intended to make a unique and beautiful experience and you can tell he loves what he does and cares about nature and connecting people to nature. Couldn’t recommend it enough and I never write reviews.
