A light in the dark

Absolutely the best glow worm tour we have been on. Great location, plenty of information relayed to participants by a very personable and knowledgeable tour guide. Would highly recommend.

Definitely recommend

We made a mistake in booking and the staff was so nice and flexible in changing the booking in the last minute. The best customer service I have had in NZ! Thumb up! The overall experience is superb! Got lots of glowworms, and the guide is very knowledgeable and friendly! Great experience to travel with a toddler and the elderly.
