About the Natural Bridge Glow Worm Tour:

The Natural Bridge in Springbrook National Park is one of Australia’s most captivating natural wonders, located within the Gondwana World Heritage Rainforests. This ancient rock formation was created by water erosion over millions of years, forming a natural arch and a waterfall that cascades through its roof into a serene pool below. By day, it’s a picturesque spot surrounded by lush rainforests and home to five stunning waterfalls. At night, the cave transforms into a glowing marvel, as thousands of glow worms light up the ceiling, creating an enchanting spectacle for visitors.
