After developing a mutual fascination with glowworms in New Zealand last December, my partner and I knew we HAD to make sure we saw them on our trip to Australia as well; and the Blue Mountains Hiking Glow worms Cave Wildlife Spotlighting Night Adventure was absolutely perfect! Unsure of exactly what to expect, we were thrilled to hear Antoine’s guarantee that we 100% would see glowworms and he definitely did not disappoint – we were graced with the most spectacular show of glowworms up-close and personal; they truly looked like stars lighting up the night sky. Though very different from our experience in NZ, we loved getting the chance to see them up close in ways we were only able to see them previously via photos. Antoine was able to show us in detail everything we remembered learning/hearing in NZ but hadn’t been able to see for ourselves. The hike to and from the viewing site was much easier (and fun) than anticipated, although it was wet and would likely have made it somewhat challenging for someone with ambulatory issues. Antoine was an amazing guide, sharing his breadth of knowledge about the glowworms while maintaining a fun and safe environment. Even if this is your first time even hearing the term glowworm, we both would 100% recommend this experience!
