Special. Unforgettable. Spectacular - Our tour guide was the best!!! Mila was very informative and happy to answer any questions. The walk was a little scary but so totally worth the end view. The glow worms were glowing. It was amazing and something unforgettable. Spectacular. Great for all ages.

Glow worm cave tour - do not miss - The whole experience from pick up to drop was amazing. Our tour guide Mili was just so passionate about the glow worms and explained many things about their life cycle, was interactive and asked us several questions which the guests loved. We also had the chance to stop and look at the stars and she had her iPad to show us the various images you could see in the sky. Overall what a lovely trip, Millie made it even more fun and interesting and had patience with the kids asking her many questions throughout the walk.

Not as good as expected experience - I arrived at the meeting point on time, but was told that I had to wait for other guests, and it took half an hour to set off from the city. This was a Japanese group, and all the guests were Asian. The driver stepped on the accelerator and rushed on the mountain road in the dark, which made me feel very unsafe. , glowing worms, if you have severe astigmatism and myopia, will look no different from Christmas light strings in the dark mountains The park does not limit the number of people, causing the entire hilltop and the market to be crowded with people. This is uncomfortable and affects the growth of fireflies. The number is less than one-third of the picture shown.

VERY DISAPPOINTED. Read why. - When I booked this tour, I let them know that we would be exploring the area for a couple of hours prior and that we would like to meet them at a meeting location of their choice near the start you the “tour” versus being picked up by a shuttle as we would already be there. We clarified the meeting location and time twice. Not once did they mention that this “Tour“ was exactly the same short (and free) walk that we were doing before meeting up with them. We called the company and asked them about this. No response. We decided to wait for the tour guide in the event that there would be something additional added. The tour guide did not show up between the times we agreed. We waited an additional 20 minutes and finally went on the “Tour“ on our own. Please know that there is no parking fee, no entrance fee and this is an entirely free thing to do. (Bring a red light flashlight as we did) They offer shuttle pick up, but that is what you will be paying for. We did not use the shuttle pick up and we’re very disappointed that they did not mention that this “Tour” was a completely free and short walk where we let them know we would already be exploring. STILL no response from the company (they did leave one voicemail 45 minutes later stating that the tour guide had not seen us but like I said, we waited an additional 20 minutes beyond the half hour window we had agreed-upon). It was a very clear location to meet. Very little/no cell reception. VERY DISAPPOINTED
