If you’re on the hunt for a nature tour like no other, you’ve come to the right place! Journey into the heart of Australia’s rainforest with Pineapple Tours to witness the spectacular sight of glow worms in their natural yet carefully conserved habitat. Our guided Glow Worm Tour on Tamborine Mountain offers a unique glimpse into the world of these luminescent creatures and an insight into the innovative efforts to preserve their environment.
Witness conservation in action
Embark on a guided tour through a specially constructed cave on Tamborine Mountain, designed to offer the ideal conditions for glow worms and mitigate the impacts of human activity. This initiative is a prime example of how controlled habitats can aid in the conservation of vulnerable species. The cave access is restricted solely to guided tours to ensure the protection and minimal disturbance of the glow worms.
A closer look at nature’s luminaries
Led by trained biologists, your journey will take you along a serene boardwalk through the restored rainforest, culminating in the glow worm habitat. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to observe the glow worms up close, marvel at their glowing bodies, and learn about their life cycle and the ecological significance of their sticky silk threads.
