About

Located opposite Redwoods Treewalk & Nightlights, this 70-metre eco-cave experience blends conservation, education, and design. The fully guided tour takes around 10 minutes, making it perfect for those wanting to see glowworms up close in an easily accessible way.

Did you know, glowworms are actually not worms at all, but the larvae of a small gnat. To attract prey, they produce a shimmering blue-green light from their tails, creating a magical star-like display. Hanging delicate silk threads, they form a miniature night sky inside the cave.

See these fascinating creatures up close in our purpose-built bio-engineered eco-cave, open day and night.
