Father’s Day Special

How about taking dad on a Glow Worm Tour for Father’s Day? This is a truly unique way for you to show dad how much you care. We have a special on for that night and we are sure that it will be a night to remember, not only for dad, but those of you who can come along with him. See our SPECIALS page for details.

Tour participants give generously to offset carbon emissions

We’ve been hard at it for the past three months and are proud to say that we will be making a record donation to Greenfleet this quarter.

Donations total AUD$390 and we’d like to thank the generosity of our tour participants that gave from their own pockets for this worthy cause.

Visitors are encouraged to donate as little or as much as they can to offset greenhouse gas emissions generated from their participation in our Glow Worm Tour. These donations are then used by Greenfleet to plant native forests around Australia.  For more information on Greenfleet please click here http://greenfleet.com.au/

We’re gearing up for a busy Golden Week

We are getting ready for a really busy “Golden Week” starting the 28th of April and running through to the 3rd of May.  To cope with the high demand for the Glow Worm Tour, we’ve put on an additional tour that will run a little later than the regular tour, starting at around 7pm, and getting participants back to their accommodation by around 11:45pm. It’s exactly the same tour but just a little later, so book now while we still have seats available.Tours start from $90 p/p.

Our website booking engine seems to be having trouble processing bookings at the moment so just call us on +61-7-5532-8687 or email us on info@tourgc.com.au to make a booking.
