Reviews
A unique experience to see blue fireflies, but the tour is shorter than expected. It's less of a cave exploration and more of a nighttime wildlife viewing. The extra stargazing tour is quite interesting.
The glow worms themselves were beautiful and definitely worth seeing, and our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the tour. However, the overall itinerary felt inefficient, with quite a lot of time spent traveling compared with the actual time at the glow worm site. The bus ride was also quite bumpy and uncomfortable, especially for a longer journey with children. Overall, the glow worm experience and guide were very good, but the transportation, scheduling, and overall value could be improved.
This trip was fantastic! Our Mandarin-speaking tour guide, Lean, was incredibly lively, engaging, and entertaining. It was our first time participating, and we gained a lot of knowledge about fireflies and Australian tree species. The night sky was brilliant, even though it was a bit windy. The thoughtful snacks and drinks made us feel warm and fuzzy. On the return trip, there was a sudden downpour, and we're truly grateful to our guide for saving us six from getting drenched. We have a wonderful memory of ending the day here! Of course, we have to give it at least a five-star recommendation! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍👍
Night tours in the rainforest are fun. If you have the chance, you can see small animals or insects besides fireflies. In summer, the temperature is slightly cooler but not too cold. All in all, it is a great experience!
The transfer was on time and smooth, the whole trip ended on time. The tour guide is very nice, he explained things in detail even though sometimes we could not hear very well at the back.
Mr. Liu drove us to and from our hotel, and along the way, he introduced us to the history of the Gold Coast's development and the famous attractions we passed (such as Warner Bros. Movie World). During the night tour, he safely led our group through the national park using infrared flashlights. He had ample knowledge to introduce the ecosystem, allowing us to learn a lot. We also actually saw blue glow worms and other forest animals. Highly recommended.
The tour guide was very attentive and caring, and it was really special to see the blue fireflies! You can also go to see the starry sky. The weather is good and there are many stars. The tour guide will help you take pictures! Can also answer a lot of questions ~ really recommended
I saw so many blue light bugs in November!! It was a bit rainy that day, and the tour guide provided shoe covers and raincoats, so my shoes were kept clean throughout the entire trip. Along the way, we introduced various plants, Australian turkey nests, glowing mushrooms and blue light bugs. We also saw super giant earthworms, which gave us a better understanding of Australian ecology. Unfortunately, there were not many stars at the last stargazing station, but there was a bonus at the end of the trip. Desserts and juice!
Fireflies are very beautiful. We saw a lot of fireflies that night, sparkling and shining. It was really beautiful, and the environment felt comfortable. It would be better if dinner was more plentiful.
It's a very different experience, but don't come if you are extremely afraid of insects... The time in the forest is a bit short... You will also be urged by the tour guide from another team (Chinese), so you won't be able to enjoy yourself... If possible, it is recommended that the tour guide wear a one-to-many guide browser. Finally, the tour guide is very professional, interesting and has good driving skills👍🏼
