Rotorua Nocturnal Glow Worm Tour

Get in touch with the magic of nature with this night glow worm walk in Rotorua, a hidden gem that only a lucky few know about. Unlike the famous Waitomo Caves, this experience offers much closer access, without the long hours on the road or the crowds.

The tour begins with an air-conditioned minivan ride from the meeting point in central Rotorua. After arriving in the native forest, you'll embark on a 2km walk accompanied by a guide who will lead you past ancient trees and otherworldly night sounds.

Once in the heart of the forest, you will turn off your torch and witness an extraordinary natural spectacle: thousands of glow worms illuminate the earth banks around you as if they were stars floating in the air. This phenomenon, unique to New Zealand, is even more impressive when the sky is cloudy.

Other nocturnal animals such as possums, wallaby kangaroos and morepork birds can also be spotted on the tour. It's a complete experience, where the local wildlife and the natural environment combine to create an unforgettable night.
