This tour was a very special tour to see the natural beauty outside Bryon Bay. Our tour guide Douglas was very passionate about sharing his love for this area of Australia. He had beautiful music by an local artist and told stories about the Aboriginal people. The glowworm experience was amazing and we got to visit a beautiful temple
Fantastic adventure with a great guide! The flute music was inspirational!
Thank you, Emily! Glad to hear you and your family had a great time! Yes, the live music in the forest is considered by many to be the "cherry on top" of our magical adventure!
Such an amazing trip! The whole experience was very smooth and Chris was amazing!
Thank you for the amazing review! I am glad to hear you had a great trip!
I had the most magical experience exploring the waterfalls, rainforest and glow worms. Our guide, Magnus, along with his son, made the entire journey feel incredibly special and personal. From the thoughtfully curated playlist to the organic dinner they organized, every detail was handled with so much care. It truly felt like an authentic Byron Bay backyard experience - swimming in pristine waters, walking through lush rainforest, visiting Protesters Falls, and witnessing the breathtaking glowworms. What made it even more meaningful were the stories and insights shared along the way, which really stayed with me. This wasn’t just a tour, it was an experience - immersive, peaceful, and unforgettable. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to connect with nature in a deeper, more magical way.
Wow! You truly got the essence of what we aim to offer to our guests! Magic is all around the rainforests around here! All the best
10/10 experience and totally worth it! Not only thanks to Dough, who really did an AMAZING job guiding us and providing us with so much information about the nature and history - but also thanks to the stunning places we got to visit. The national park is beyond beautiful and seeing the glow worms at night is a very unique experience. And as a vegan, I was so happy not having to trouble anyone with my dietary needs this time - thank you for that!
Thank you Sina! We will pass the compliments to Doug! Yes the forest is magic and the food is delicious! We are glad to read your review
Chris was such a lovely tour guide. He has a great balance of care for you and passion for nature. He laid out the trip for us (much like in the details when you book) as we boarded and it helped us mentally prepare for the journey. I took a light swim at the first waterfall and enjoyed everyone’s camaraderie as we decided whether or not we would go in, haha. I would recommend water shoes if you do go in. Makes it a little easier. Our dinner was lovely! Bring your glasses if you have trouble seeing in the twilight hours or at night. The glow worm experience is really unique and the darker the better, so make sure your vision is at its crisp. There are plenty of stops for the bathroom. We made one extra lil stop to pick-up his adorable 6-year daughter who was his lil helper for the evening. Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of different perspectives as you walk through nature. This is also something Chris reminds you of as he recommends a one-way picture/conversational walk, and the other way silent walk to/fro the waterfall. His flute playing at the glow-worm site topped it off perfectly^_^
Hi Heid! Thank you for the lovely review! It was really special to have my daughter with me that day! She is still talking about it LOL! Thank you for the good energy and positivity!
If you want to get out of the beach and sun this is a must! Amazing experience and highly recommend. Was a drive to get back but worth the trip to see something different.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌿✨ We’re so happy you enjoyed stepping away from the beach and discovering a different side of Byron Bay. The rainforest, waterfalls and glowworms truly offer a completely unique experience compared to the coastline. Yes, there is a bit of a scenic drive into the hinterland — but as you said, it’s absolutely worth it to explore the ancient Gondwana Rainforest and see something so special and different. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again one day! Rise Up Team 🌱
Amazing Tour Magnum was informative And the little touches of the candles on the table were so sweet and exceptional tour where I would definitely recommend and go again
Thank you so much for your kind words! ✨🌿 We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing time and that Magnum’s passion and knowledge made the experience even more special. He truly loves sharing the stories of the rainforest and its unique ecosystem. And we’re so happy you appreciated the candlelit dinner touches — we believe those small details help create a warm, memorable atmosphere after a magical evening with the glowworms. It means a lot that you’d recommend the tour and even come again — we’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime! Rise Up Team 🌱
The glow worms themselves were nice but not that memorable, but I did love the trip to the rainforest and the swim at the waterfall.
We’re so glad to hear you loved the rainforest journey and the waterfall swim though — those ancient landscapes and pristine swimming spots are such a special part of the experience. Thank you again for joining us and for sharing your perspective. We hope to welcome you back to explore even more of the Byron hinterland one day! 🌱 Rise Up Team
The excursion was nice! The vibes in the van while driving out of byron were great thanks to the fun guide, who also gave us lots of input. First waterfall was ok. It was quite rushed and felt a bit strange. Half of us went for a swim, the other half stood around and didn’t know what to do. Then we entered the rainforest which was AMAZING! Great second waterfall but no wildlife at all :( we went back, had lunch (only 2 options - I didn’t like it). And lastly we went back in for glowworms and bioluminescenct mushrooms. The mushrooms and glowworms were great but it was way to strict! A lot of talking, a lot of rules, he even insisted of a specific time frame when we were allowed to take photos - outside of that frame it was forbidden. Thankfully on the way home we found a giant snake and stopped, which was really cool and made the whole experience a lot better for me!
Hi there, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the overall experience, the rainforest, the glow worms, bioluminescent fungi, and especially the energy of your guide — and what a lucky moment spotting a snake on the way home! Those encounters are always special. We’d like to gently clarify a few points for future guests reading this. Our pricing reflects peak season fares, and prices do vary throughout the year depending on demand and operating costs. When bookings are made through platforms such as Viator, please note that up to 30% of the ticket price goes to third-party agent commissions, which we must factor in to ensure we can sustainably operate, pay staff fairly, and maintain high safety and environmental standards. Wildlife sightings in the rainforest are always unpredictable. While we occasionally encounter animals, we never guarantee sightings — nature decides, and each visit is different. Regarding the glow-worm experience, we understand the photo restrictions can feel strict. These guidelines are in place to protect the glow worms’ hunting behaviour, as flashes and excess light can disrupt them. Keeping the environment dark also ensures that all guests can fully enjoy the natural bioluminescence — something we take very seriously as part of our conservation-focused approach. Our food offering is organic and vegan, sourced from Fundies Café, and is chosen for sustainability and health. While we appreciate that this style may not suit every palate, we consistently receive very positive feedback and believe it aligns strongly with the values of the experience. At the first waterfall, guests who choose not to swim are encouraged to relax, enjoy the subtropical rainforest, fresh air, and peaceful surroundings — though we appreciate your feedback and will continue refining how we guide that moment for mixed preferences. Timing throughout the tour is also carefully managed so we can make the most of daylight and transition smoothly into the night experience. Thank you again for joining us and for sharing your thoughts. We truly value feedback, as it helps us continue improving while staying true to our commitment to nature, education, and conscious tourism. Warm regards,
