What you can expect

Discover the enchanting glowworms of the Nile River Caves in Paparoa National Park. Take a train ride with an experienced guide through the rainforest to the caves to witness thousands of tiny glowworms lighting up the cavern's walls.

Make your way to Charlestown Base where your friendly guide awaits. Grab caving helmets, coats, and boots before embarking on a train ride through the lush rainforest of Paparoa National Park. Then make your way to the Nile River Caves.

Enter the cave with its twisting network of limestone passages, stalactites, and stalagmites—the perfect habitat for glowworms. Your expert guide leads you through, providing narration about its various inhabitants. Be fascinated by the illuminating creatures that seem to decorate the walls and provide light, a truly magical sight.
