About Our Glow Worm Experience
The Glow Worm Caves on Tamborine Mountain are a must-visit attraction, providing a captivating experience for visitors of all ages. These caves serve as a sanctuary for glow worms, offering them protection from threats in their natural habitat.
A Collaborative Vision
Originally conceived on the grounds of Cedar Creek Winery, the Glow Worm Caves emerged from a visionary collaboration between the winery owner and a dedicated park ranger. Concerned about the dwindling population of glow worms in their natural habitat, this collaboration led to the creation of an artificial sanctuary, meticulously designed to mirror the optimal conditions for these luminescent creatures.
Immersive Exploration
Guided by insights from biologists, the caves were crafted to provide a nurturing habitat for glow worms, while also offering an immersive experience for visitors. Guided tours through the caves not only unveil the mysterious world of glow worms but also shed light on their behaviour and ecological significance. Beyond preservation, the goal is to educate and redirect attention away from wild sites to prevent further harm to these enchanting creatures.

Drawing in a diverse array of visitors—from backpackers to families—the Glow Worm Caves offer an educational and family-friendly atmosphere that appeals to all. Even during rainy weather when outdoor activities may be limited, the caves provide a unique adventure, fostering curiosity and wonder among visitors of all ages. For Robin, the joy lies in interacting with inquisitive visitors, particularly children eager to unravel the mysteries of glow worms and nature.
