Our Nocturnal Glow-worm tour takes 2.5 to 3 hours and includes a 2 kilometer walk. We will depart from Rotorua in a minivan, small group (8 people). Depart times vary depending on season. Once there after a walk through the darkness of native bush you will be guided by the sound of running water. Soon towering banks will rise up around you. Then in this moment turn off your flashlight and you will not be disappointed. Literally thousands of glow worms lite up like night sky, forming their own constellations all around you. At any time of the year it is unlikely that the glow worms will be the only wildlife that you encounter. Wallabies and Possums patrol the area and their rustling, along with the eerie call of the morepork, will provide the sound effects for you night walk. Out of the forest the 'star' gazing is at is best on a clear dark night sky. Come along, soak up the atmosphere and learn about New Zealand's incredible night life.

Amazing tour

5.00Wow what an experience. Not only did we see some amazing gloworms but our guide Stephen was absolutely fabulous pointing out and explaining things to us as we walked through the forest. His passion and excitement at discovering new things as we walked along the track was contagious. Who would have thought moss and fungi could be so interesting. We saw some great silver ferns and learnt the history to this. Stephen, a true nature buff, was very well prepared provided commentary all the way and even supplied us with gum boots so our feet stayed dry and a lovely warm cup of hot chocolate and biscuit on our return. I highly recommend this trip. Thanks Stephen
Amazing bush walk!

5.00Amazing bush walk with Stephen, it was raining but this made the glow worms glow brighter. Stephen was well equipped with all the gear which was definitely needed and the tour was amazing. Highly recommended if you are in town!
Hands down the best experience I had over two weeks in New Zealand

5.00The title seems maybe kind of too good to be true, but it's all subjective. I have seen mountains, waterfalls, night sky and rugged terrain before so in comparison what New Zealand offers is always on par and often better, but for me it also is somewhat familiar. I have never done a nocturnal walk in woods before as guided tour though and this experience was awesome. Short, but about right at the same time. It's great to meet a knowledgeable guide who is a real fan himself and the experience was great. If you want to have something a bit different it is surely something I'd recommend. Our group was nice and small with 5 people plus the guide and it worked wonders.
Excellent Nature, Service, & Glow Worms

5.00We experienced a night walk in the natural forest learning about native trees, ferns, some insects, spiders and importantly glow worms. What a treat it was to be shown by an experienced and informed tour guide, Stephen. From the outset of being picked up, the stories and local history was imparted. When we got to the forest, we were versed in how to use our own torches then we set off under a half moon into the darkness. Magnificent views awaited us of various parts of forests with information about our immediate surroundings. We saw the largest Silver Ferns on the walk. What struck us most was just how tiny Glow Worms are and how delicate their structures are. We especially loved the way Stephen set up for some spectacular photos of us in the forest with our torches as ambient lighting. A very special memory and one we easily recommend.

5.00Highly recommend this tour due to the small size! Stephen was amazing in his knowledge of the Rotorua area and of course the little glow worms. We saw a whole galaxy of them! Stephen also had gumboots/rain coats for those who were looking for a little extra protection, highly appreciated. Thanks so much Stephen, truly one of our highlights of NZ!
Glowworms and more!!

5.00What a fabulous night! The glowworms were indeed great but we enjoyed the adventure of walking in a temperate rain forest at night with such delights as....well- not saying? You'll just have to go...cheers!

5.00Stephen has hundreds of 5 star reviews because he is truly the best! He is incredibly knowledgeable and really curates a great experience. There are so many glow worms to see and lots of the forest to explore. We booked after our kayak glow worm tour with another group was cancelled due to wind, and the Real Rotorua tour surpassed our expectations and made us glad things worked out the way they did! There were seven people, including our pair, in our tour, and the experience lasted about 3 hours from pick up to drop off.

5.00An wholesome experience, very knowledgeable person, never had thought, this one activity would turn out to be so good Unlike other commercial activity providers, he took us to the natural environment and not just glow worms, but we experienced much more things, which cannot be expressed verbally Next time if you’re booking for glow worm experience, this is highly recommended
