Glow Worm Caves

If you’re looking for a nature-friendly experience, come and tour the unique glow worm caves. There are several eco-certified tour operators around the Springbrook National Park that offer environmentally and culturally sensitive guided tours.

A Gold Coast glow worm tour takes you to Springbrook National Park; a World Heritage site that hosts a unique variety of plant and animal life, including millions of creatures that make their home in the forest.

Gold Coast Glow Worm Caves & Springbrook Night Tours

Experienced guides are available to give interesting information on the local flora and fauna, as well as the history and culture of the traditional Aboriginal people inhabiting the area.

Glow worms tours are often held at night so that visitors can fully appreciate the nocturnal beauty of the rainforest. Many of the tours lead visitors to a cave with cascading waterfalls, where a colony of glow worms live. These creatures are invisible to the naked eye during the day, but at night, they look like an array of stars in the darkness with their collective luminescent glow.

Glow Worm tour operators offer a variety of options, including dinner options on their tours. Tours also often include hotel pick-up and drop-off, an experienced local guide, a rainforest walk, national park fees and hiring fees for torches and other equipment. Since the tour involves walking in the rainforest, visitors are advised to wear comfortable sealed shoes.

So if you want to make your next visit to the Gold Coast truly remarkable, explore the glow worms caves on the beautiful Gold Coast.
