Alex was a funny and very knowledgeable guide. He pointed out so many interesting things and fun facts. The glow worms were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend the mistery cake 😊

The entire experience is a lot of fun and filled with excitement of walking in the dense rainforest at night and spotting glow worms. However, I felt it was a bit highly priced as it involves 2 hours of drive and just about a 50 mins walk inside the rainforest (Both ways together). Pricing of about $80 - $100 would be more accurate.

Fantastic and informative night tour. Our children really enjoyed it and found it very exciting. Alex our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the whole night very fun. We would definitely recommend it to everyone as a must do experience, while they are visiting the Goldcoast!
