A peaceful and surreal journey

Although the weather wasn't great (showers, grey skies, and just a wee bit cold) the glow worm and boat experience was. Our guides were lovely and very informative. They kept us safe, afloat and as dry and warm as could be. The glow worms were beautiful and the lake was so peaceful, it was a very different and quite a surreal experience, that I'm glad I was able to do with my kids. Highly recommend.

Good experience

My first experience with glowworms sightseeing. It was good. But it was a one time experience for me.
