About This Site

Blue Mountains Glow Worms is an independent guide to seeing glow worms in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales. This page explains what the site covers, where its facts come from, and how it earns money.

What This Site Is

This site is a practical guide for anyone planning to see glow worms in the Blue Mountains. It covers two very different experiences: the free, self-guided Glow Worm Tunnel walking track in Wollemi National Park near Lithgow, and one bookable guided night hike from Sydney run by Wildscape Adventures.

The tunnel and the night hike are not the same place. The tunnel is a historic rail tunnel you can walk through on your own during the day. The night hike goes to a glow worm cave behind a waterfall, and the operator does not publish the cave location. If you want to visit the tunnel, you do not need a tour. If you want the guided waterfall cave experience, the tour is the way to do it.

Who It Is For

The site is written for independent travelers, families, and anyone curious about glow worms who wants clear, plain information. It suits people deciding between a free self-guided walk and a paid guided experience, and those who want to know what each option actually involves before committing time or money.

No personal experience is claimed anywhere on the site. It is a publication, not a tour operator, and it does not run trips of its own.

How Facts Are Gathered

Every claim on this site is drawn from published sources: NSW National Parks pages for the tunnel and walking track, Bureau of Meteorology climate data for Katoomba, the real booking listing for the tour, and the operator's own pages.

The site does not invent statistics, awards, or credentials. If something is not published by those sources, it does not appear here. Where a detail such as the cave location is not disclosed by the operator, the site says so rather than guessing.

How This Site Earns Money

Bookings for the night hike happen on a major booking platform. When a reader books through a button on this site, the site is paid through the booking link at no extra cost to the reader; the price is the same either way.

Only one tour is featured, and that is because it is the only bookable glow worm product in the region that could be found. Other tours either have no live listing or are unavailable, so they are not shown. The order of content on this site is not for sale. Full details are on the disclosure page.

This site does not process bookings, payments, or refunds. For any booking issue, contact the booking platform or the operator directly. You can reach the site itself at info@bluemountainsglowworms.com.
