About this tour
Pedal through a limestone tunnel alive with glowworms near Byron Bay on this 3-hour evening adventure. Your guide collects you from accommodation and supplies an e-bike fitted with lights to navigate the 500-metre passage safely after dark. Watch thousands of bioluminescent creatures adorning the tunnel walls—a genuinely rare sighting in their undisturbed environment, not a contrived tourist setup.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your Byron Bay base and driven 30 minutes to a small township where your e-bike and headlamp are fitted. Once dark falls, you'll ride slowly through the tunnel, lights dimmed to avoid disturbing the glowworms. The creatures appear as tiny pinpricks of green-blue light scattered across the rock face above. It's genuinely quiet—mostly your wheels and breathing. The tunnel temperature stays cool year-round. Your guide points out clusters and explains their lifecycle, but keeps commentary minimal so you can absorb the oddness of pedalling through a living constellation.
Good to know
Bring a light jumper despite warm evenings—tunnel stays cool. Wear closed-toe shoes for pedalling safely. The e-bike requires minimal fitness; motors handle hills. No snacks or dinner provided, so eat beforehand. Service animals welcome. Public transport available nearby if you prefer alternative transport.
