Glowworm Tunnel & Dry Canyon Walk

Visit a lost world on this immersive six to seven hour adventure in the Blue Mountains, including three to four hours of walking and exploration. Begin by discovering the enchanting Glowworm Tunnel, a nearly four hundred meter long tunnel where the pitch darkness is illuminated by thousands of glowworms creating a Milky Way effect along the walls and ceiling. Equipped with red-light headlamps to avoid disturbing the glowworms, guests will learn fascinating insights from a biologist guide about the life and behavior of these remarkable creatures. The journey continues through the Dry Canyon, a dramatic slot canyon that is easy to walk with one small assisted scramble, allowing guests to experience the breathtaking geological formations of the region. A delicious picnic lunch is enjoyed among the lush tree ferns of Wollemi National Park, providing a serene setting to relax and take in the natural beauty of this hidden wilderness.

The excursion covers approximately eight kilometers and begins at either Mt Wilson or the Zigzag Railway in Clarence, with travel times of about one hour each way. Guests are advised to wear sturdy walking shoes, comfortable clothing suitable for varying weather, and bring water, sun protection, and a camera to capture the stunning scenery. Guided by an experienced biologist, this adventure combines education, exploration, and natural wonder for an unforgettable journey into one of the Blue Mountains’ most magical landscapes. The tour provides insight into the region’s ecology, geology, and wildlife, offering a rare opportunity to connect deeply with the natural world.
