Nicols Creek Glow Worms

What a beautiful adventure in the night to go see this special sight. The walk up wasn't too bad... make sure you're wearing good shoes though!It was truly a magical experience being up there with the glow worms. We took the kids with us as well... and although they were scared of the dark, they were blown away by these little glowing creatures that they called 'the stars of the forest'.if i get the opportunity, I'll definitely do this again when I'm next in Dunedin.

Nothing special. Obviously nobody doesnot take care about this place. Yes goes to waterfalls is challenging. It is small. I didnt find" the cave. Maybe it is across the river...but is it trully scared jungle"

For my first time this morning I walked along the track leading to see the huge waterfall beside the Creek with Trixie Vosseler the support worker The walk level was hard and rough and bit wet with a lot of steep paths in Leith Valley. We had a walking pole while I held another hand on some small tree stems while looking out for spiral like steps. As I had many years experience with the Bush walks including my favourite Dunedin city walks called Roas Creek. About two weeks ago when I saw a photo of a similar waterfall on Instagram I thought there with a question. Then someone commented Nichold Fall! Led me to explore somewhere new for challenges. Also noticed glow worms on one side of the track after a junction to the waterfall has the signs shown.ehich way to go.

Waterfalls are from carpark ~40 minutes return and glow-worms ~ 20minutes return.

There are several places to see glow worms in caves and other places. It is surprising to go just outside of Denedin, New Zealand for a short hike to see them after dark. There's not a parking lot for the hike. The trail has gravel. Go straight. Watch for the cliffs on the left and the waterfall on the right. The glow worms will be brightest after the last light of sunset is gone. Don't shine your light at them. Enjoy.

Magical experience. Unfortunately, my phone is not. Good enough to take a picture in the dark.

The walk to the glow worms is short and relatively easy, it was however quite muddy and wet. The walk to the waterfall was quite challenging, I would recommend using hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers, specially if it's been raining. Bring a torch if you are going at dusk. Very beautiful and peaceful

Great authentic glow worm grotto. Gravelled but wet and a little muddy track for access. Track goes through native bush into an area with high rock walls covered with vegetation and glow worms. Parking on roadside only and glow worms are about 200 meters from the road. Child friendly, bring a torch.

A good sized waterfall in the city. A 15 min walk that can be slippery and muddy in places, with a few wet rocks to climb over to stand at the foot of the waterfall. Quite picturesque and it's nice that you don't feel like you're in the city. For a little more adventure walking up Nicols Creek to the watefall (via the glow worm track) is quite fun and there are some pretty spots along the way. Kids and dogs love it!

Steep 20 minute walk to waterfall, good exercise
