Our take

This is the one night walk on our Blue Mountains hiking tours page. A minibus collects you from your Sydney hotel between 7:50 and 8:35pm, and a certified outdoor instructor leads up to nine people on a headlamp walk through the forest to a cave and waterfall where glow worms light the roof. It rates close to 5.

The walk itself is short, roughly 30 minutes by one reviewer's estimate, but it goes down stairs and over small bridges, and the cave is wet and slippery, so wear shoes with grip and bring a raincoat. Headlamps with a red light mode and water are supplied; dinner is not. The whole trip runs about 5 hours, so you are back late. Confirm your pickup by WhatsApp or iMessage, as the listing asks; the office is closed while tours run. Look for a black Toyota minibus, plate 09WILD.

Good for

  • Something different after dark
  • Small groups who want hotel pickup

Think twice if

  • You need an early night
  • Anyone unsteady on wet stairs
