Participate in an educational tour of the Cullinan Diamond Mine, which is home to one of the world's largest diamonds, also known as the Cullinan Diamond. More than a century has passed since this mine was established in Cullinan, in the country of South Africa. It is the source of some of the most stunning diamonds in the world, including the rough diamond, which was found to be the largest ever discovered. This diamond was 4 to 9 meters below the surface. Unbelievable, but true!

You will be greeted by knowledgeable tour guides as soon as you arrive at the mine, and they will take you on a tour of the facilities there. You will gain an understanding of the background of the mine, the process by which diamonds are extracted from the earth, as well as the distinctive qualities that set Cullinan diamonds apart from other varieties. If you select the underground mine tour, you will descend 763 meters below ground to view the diamond-bearing rock formations. You are going to be blown away by the scale of the operation, as well as the cutting-edge technology that was used to retrieve these priceless diamonds from the depths of the earth.

In the on-site museum, which you will visit after your underground tour, you will see replicas of some of the most famous Cullinan diamonds, such as the Star of Africa and the Lesser Star of Africa, both of which are now part of the British Crown Jewels.

You will, at long last, have the opportunity to purchase a Cullinan diamond and various other diamonds, gemstones, jewelry, etc. to serve as a memento of your time spent in South Africa. You won't want to miss out on this tour because there are so many interesting things to see and things to learn. Visit us, and we'll show you the wonders of the Cullinan Diamond Mine in South Africa.
