We’ve been tracking and monitoring a thriving colony of bush glow worms for a while now and they are magnificent, strange and magical all at the same time! Our unique species of glow worm lights up after dark like the stars to attract it's prey, it's very special. The atmosphere is pretty electric in there as we first allow our eyes become accustomed to the dark before we walk past and hear running water close by and then it's just us, and the glow worms. The luminescent larval is endemic to these shores, so it's a one off for most at a very cool piece of native forest. This local bush reserve is to remain a secret, phones are turned off. You may even be asked to wear a blind fold on route. This is an exceptionally sensitive area. Thanks for your help preserving this. This is an easy flat bush walk, you will not be on a boat

    We take a 25 minute car ride to a secret forest, in Auckland, to view the glow worms in their natural habitat. This is a unique experience to go visit and hang out with real life glow worms without even leaving the city. We go in small groups, we are very careful where we tread and what we touch, it’s an intimate and special experience every time. It is an easy 30 minute walk around a unique section of bush teeming with Glow Worms, led by your guide by torch light. You'll see glow worms and experience native New Zealand bush and it's wildlife by night.

You're lucky if you can get this experience booked! I tried twice and got declined by the Operator, both times just a few hours before the experience was supposed to start. Not sure why you'd offer available dates on the calendar just to decline the booking.

Would re-take this tour over and over again. Loved it! Would highly recommend this one for any nature lovers. Tūīs, moreporks, and a waterfall serenaded us during our walk to the secret spot. Saw crayfish along the way, an eel, silver fern... and of course glow worms all over the place. Small group size ensured Covid safety and maximum time with the worms.
