Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- madamiamadamCanada36 contributionsWhether you come from the north or the south, there’s a bit of a rough, unsealed drive into the place. Be prepared for a bit of wet, muddy walking when you get into the cave, maybe bring water shoes or some other kind of footwear suitable for the conditions. And be prepared for a lot of people milling about near the entrance to the cave, it’s the easiest part to get to, and therefore attracts the most people but that’s not really where you need to go if you want to see the glow worms. To see the glowworms at their best.you need to go further into the cave and wade through a river and climb over a log or some rocks to get further back where you can see a lot of glow worms in the ceiling of the cave. You’ll probably have to ask people to turn off their headlamps because a lot of people, leave them on to look at the cave formations and don’t realize how amazing the glow worms are when everyone turns off their headlamps and torches.Written 20 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- XanerinAlice Springs, Australia1,470 contributionsTo get her you drive on an unsealed road so keep your speed down. We nearly missed it and only saw the sign after seeing two car parked by side of road - not really a car park. Good steep walk down and on a beautiful track which we thoroughly enjoyed. ( Takes about 10 mins) At the bottom is a concrete walkway then onto the spectacular falls. Children were swimming and having three distinct pools, swimming is safe. For us the water was very cool but coming from the desert, it was like the coolness of our waterholes. This is a real must and it is free for everyone to enjoy. There are no toilets so be aware of this. Happy trekking.Written 27 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kaylie BNapier, New Zealand53 contributionsGood level of fitness required. We didnt see glow worms as you have to walk quite deep into the caves through some water to see. We have a 6 year old with us and just enjoyed walking and looking around the caves. Quite a drive out of the way but worth it.Written 27 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
