Nocturnal adventure Glow-worm tour
Even on the cloudiest night, the New Zealand glowworm lights up the darkness in a lucky few spots across the country. This short evening bush-walk departing from Rotorua involves a short drive, a walk through picturesque native bush and the chance to see these increasingly rare creatures. Tack this tour onto the end of a thrilling day in Rotorua instead of hiring a car for an almost two-hour drive west to visit the exceedingly popular Waitomo Caves. This is one of the easiest ways to experience Aotearoa’s unique glowworm habitats.

Review of: Nocturnal adventure Glow-worm tour
best glow worm tour i have done so far, (much better than the glow worm caves and the Kayak) walking through the forest at night and getting real close to the glow worms. Stephen was very friendly, knowledgeable and well prepared with all the equipments (torches, raincoats, gum boots). he also took some amazing night photos for us. the whole walk was about 1hour and half, the terrain was easy, suitable for all ages. definitely worth the time! P.S. real nice hot chocolate at the end too. :)…

Review of: Nocturnal adventure Glow-worm tour
Really great tour! It’s unique and different from other tours. You get to see totally different side of Rotorua. Stephen is affable and really charming. He makes you feel really comfortable and takes care of you. The tour is at night time in the dark. Requires a lot of walking. So make sure you have good walking shoes. …

Review of: Nocturnal adventure Glow-worm tour
A brilliant tour. We took our 8 and 10 year olds and though way past their usual bedtime, they were as captivated and engaged as the adults were. The magnificent glow worm displays were the focus of the evening and surpassed expectations but the whole tour was a great experience. Stephen is generous in sharing his extensive knowledge of the forest and region and happily answered our questions. We were able to learn a lot about the flora and fauna and our city kids got to experience so many new things - wallabies, possums etc. I would highly recommend this tour. The memories are going to stick with us for a long while!…
