We’ve been tracking and monitoring a thriving colony of bush glow worms for a while now and they are magnificent, strange and magical all at the same time! Our unique species of glow worm lights up after dark like the stars to attract it's prey, it's very special.
The atmosphere is pretty electric in there as we first allow our eyes become accustomed to the dark before we walk past and hear running water close by and then it's just us, and the glow worms.
The luminescent larval is endemic to these shores, so it's a one off for most at a very cool piece of native forest. This local bush reserve is to remain a secret, phones are turned off. You may even be asked to wear a blind fold on route. This is an exceptionally sensitive area. Thanks for your help preserving this. This is an easy flat bush walk, you will not be on a boat

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who doesn't have the time to make the trip to the glow worm caves but still wants to see the glow worms in the Auckland area. Our guide Kate was punctual, informative, friendly and enthusiastic about showing off the glow worms and the lovely nature park in which they are found. For a short trip, a lot was packed in and I would definitely do it again if I am back in Auckland.

My partner and our 8-year-old booked this for our last night in Auckland, and I’m so glad we did! It was absolutely magical to see the glow worms in a beautiful hidden forest! Kate was a wonderful guide, pointing out native bird calls and explaining local legends. We loved getting the experience from a local perspective, off the main tourist drag. There was even a friendly cat who joined us for part of the tour, offering a little furry affection. My 8-year-old was enchanted by the whole thing, and we were both amazed that such a magical forest exists so close to the city. It was a perfect way to end our stay in NZ.

Would re-take this tour over and over again. Loved it! Would highly recommend this one for any nature lovers. Tūīs, moreporks, and a waterfall serenaded us during our walk to the secret spot. Saw crayfish along the way, an eel, silver fern... and of course glow worms all over the place. Small group size ensured Covid safety and maximum time with the worms.
