Step into the world of precious gems with a visit to the Cullinan Diamond Mine, famous for producing some of the largest and most valuable diamonds in the world, including the 3,106-carat Cullinan Diamond, the largest ever found. Visitors can choose between two captivating tours: an underground adventure deep into the heart of a fully operational diamond mine or a surface tour that offers a fascinating look at the mining process above ground.

The underground tour takes you into the depths where diamonds are extracted from the earth, providing an up-close view of mining in action (please note, children under 16 are not permitted on this tour). For those staying on the surface, the tour offers a comprehensive experience of how these sparkling gems are processed, from rough stone to polished perfection. A visit to the Cullinan Diamond Mine is more than just a glimpse into the world of mining—it’s an opportunity to witness history and the enduring allure of South Africa’s most famous natural resource.
