It ended up raining as we through the rainforest, but that seemed to only add to the trip. Thank goodness it was at the end because everyone was soaked, but everyone was happy. The glow worms were definitely the highlight of the trip. Along with the stop for lunch on your own at the cute little town before the glow worms. Highly enjoyed my time.

It was a memorable trip. Our guide Brian was very friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the places, the trees, why they are important and so on. The group was also nice. I would conclude by saying the trip is a value for the money we paid.

We had the most incredible experience !! Our tour guides Georgie and Ryan were amazing !!! Highly recommended !! Such a thrill and well worth the money !! Make sure you end the day with a swim at cedar creek falls ! It’s just magical

It was awesome activity. Jake and Tylor(guides) were nice and funny. I want to do again when I come back to travel.

Great fun for children and a must if not done so before
