Wolgan Valley Eco Tours

Specialists in small group minimal impact guided walks of the world heritage listed Wollemi & Gardens of Stone region.

From wildlife encounters on the Wollemi Twilight Wildlife Tour to the illuminating wonder of glow worms on the Glow Worm Tunnel Hike, or the historic ruins of the Newnes Shale Oil Refinery contrasting to Wolgan Valleys most iconic landmark Donkey Mountain - our guided bushwalks and wildlife encounters offer a unique and authentic way to experience the Greater Blue Mountains Region.

Thank you and farewell!

After eight years of delivering my award winning guided walks and wildlife encounters I’ve made the difficult decision to call it a day with our last tour this Sunday 1 December 2024!

Decisions like this are never easy but to be honest… the restrictions placed on my business and community of Wolgan Valley due to the inadequate temporary access road (Donkey Steps) in and out of the valley makes it incredibly difficult to grow as a business and contribute fully to the Lithgow regions burgeoning tourism industry.

I have been so fortunate to play host to guests from all around the world, from here in Australia and even locals who all have a shared love for our natural environment and unique native wildlife. Without them this business would not exist.

These last eight years would not be possible without the support and encouragement of my husband John, son Seamus, my parents/in-laws, friends and our community of Wolgan Valley. I would also like to thank the wonderful team at Ecotourism Australia, Quality Tourism Australia, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service Parks, Mingaan Wiradjuri, Seven Valleys Tourism, Blue Mountains Tourism, Destination NSW and Tourism Australia for their ongoing support and assistance.

And I can’t forget my fellow business owners here in the Greater Blue Mountains region in particular Lavendar Hill Graze, CDV Design, our beautiful hosts at the “Corn Paddock” – the Coates-Denmead Family, and all the incredible accommodation providers. Without you my business would not have seen the success that it has.

So as you plan your next escape, I encourage you to experience the magic of Wolgan Valley here in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area! The closure of Wolgan Road has brought many challenges which we continue to endure, but your support can help keep our valleys ecotourism industry alive. Consider staying with our dear friends at Tiny Two Wolgan Valley, where architecturally-designed eco-friendly stays connect you with nature, or the Newnes Hotel Wilderness Cabins, and historic gem offering cozy off-grid accommodation.

Thank you all for your support and the incredible memories. I’ll cherish them for life!

We were chuffed to be recently joined over two days by the wonderful Chris and Gunhild from the USA. This was their third trip to our beautiful country but the first time exploring the Greater Blue Mountains. As always, the Blue Mountains Glowworms didn’t disappoint at the but what was even more special was that they were able to catch the start of the wildflowers season here in the Gardens Of Stone and Wollemi region. Absolutely stunning!

A big thank you to these wonderful guests that joined us on our Glow Worm Tunnel Hike. The glow worms definitely put on a show for us!

What was really exciting to see was a majority of visitors to this special place were using red filter torches (or in one case a young girl using a red screen on her phone -genius!). Not only is it good for the glow worms but it’s the best way to observe them in all their beauty!

A big shout out to birthday boy and from as well as the beautiful for joining us on our Glow Worm Tunnel Hike here in the spectacular Wollemi National Park. It’s always a joy to be hitting the trails with people who are just as passionate about the Greater Blue Mountains as we are!

Just had to post this. This little posie of native foliage and flowers was left on the windscreen of our tour vehicle today. Such a lovely surprise on return from our guided Glow Worm Tunnel Hike. It’s moments like these that remind us of the beautiful friendships that we’ve made these last 14yrs living here in Wolgan Valley 💚

Let’s just say the weather yesterday for our guided Glow Worm Tunnel Hike was less than ideal… wait there, hold up. That’s an understatement. It was atrocious! Snow, sunshine, misty mountain rain, the occasional squall! Quite literally four seasons in one day.

So what do we do when we know that we’re in for some pretty dodgy weather? For this 9km bushwalk we instead hit the road and make it a combined vehicle and walking tour. We even have the luxury of a beautiful picnic morning tea and lunch prepared by 🧺 🥪 🧁 ☕️ 🍇

Just one of the many ways that we ensure our guests are safe and have the best possible experience!

Such a joy to be joined by this beautiful family on our Glow Worm Tunnel Hike. The glow worms didn’t disappoint resembling a starlit night and the resident superb lyrebirds gave a performance that even fooled us a guides!

What better way to disconnect from the every day and reconnect with loved ones!

This small group (maximum 4 people) full day fully guided bushwalk includes a delicious morning tea and lunch, use of special red headlamps so we don’t harm the glow worms 🐛, and return vehicle transfers from the visitor information centre or your accommodation in Lithgow, Wallerawang Black Gold Portland, Lidsdale or Wolgan Valley Newnes Hotel ******erTinyHouse.
