Make sure you have charged your phone or have a head lamp and are prepared to get your feet wet. There is a little climbing involved but nothing too stressful. 100m in to see some glow worms in their natural habitat.

Make sure you allow at least an hour to walk casually around the loop. Great to take kids on their scooters and there is a playground on the walk as well.

City/town information

Smaller village that is starting to grow. Similar to the waterways in Pauanui, it is great for a stroll with a local 4 Square, cafe and real estate.
