We had an amazing experience during the Glow Worm tunnel evening guided tour. From the bike ride to the glow worm caving walking experience was one that I can never forget. The nostalic effect of nature's beauty was worth experiencing.

A memorable family activity in Byron

This e-bike tour was a highlight of our Byron Bay trip. Campbell, our guide, was professional and attentive, ensuring we were well taken care of, from pick-up at our Airbnb to the well-maintained e-bikes. The 9-10 km ride was easy, but the real magic happened in the old rail tunnel where we experienced breathtaking bioluminescence. Campbell’s deep knowledge of the area’s history, from the railway to the glow worms, made the tour even more special. A truly unique and moderately challenging adventure, perfect for anyone looking to explore Byron Bay in a memorable way.

Operator response

Thanks for the kind words about the Evening Glow worm tour. It’s great taking people out to experience such a unique natural phenomenon. Glad you could share it with me and Better By Bike. Campbell

Glowing Praise for a Glowing Experience

We loved the evening guided glow worm tour! It was such a fun experience and very unique. My husband and I took our kids who are 12 and 16 and we all found riding the e-bikes was a breeze. Campbell was a wonderful guide and I would highly recommend this as a fun activity to top off a day at the beach!

Unusual and enjoyable evening adventure

This is a really fun thing to do. We were collected from home and driven to our starting point where we had instructions on how best to handle the e-bikes. We set out at dusk and rode along the path in the darkness to the tunnel. Dismounted our bikes and walked with our guide through the tunnel . The glow worms were awesome. A very large array of tiny lights for quite a long stretch. Back to the entrance and a ride back to our transport home. Very well done and a personable guide.

Breathtaking and unique experience

Very memorable adventure. Campbell was so professional and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the E bikes! Even the 6 and 3 year old were safely catered for. And the tunnel, truly magnificent.
