Step into a world of sparkle and grit. The Cullinan Diamond Mine is world-renowned for the 1905 discovery of the “Cullinan Diamond”—the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found, which now resides in the British Crown Jewels. This is a rare opportunity to visit a high-security, working mine that still produces some of the planet’s most valuable blue and white diamonds. With our private transfer service, you’ll enjoy a smooth, professional journey from Johannesburg to this historic Victorian village, exploring the luxury and the labor behind the world’s most coveted gems.

What To Expect (The Itinerary)

• The Massive “Big Hole”: Stand on the viewing platform of the impressive open-pit mine. At four times the size of the Kimberley Big Hole, this massive excavation offers a perspective on the scale of diamond mining that few get to see.
• Surface Tour & Exhibition: Your guided tour takes you through the replica exhibition hall, where you’ll see models of the world’s most famous diamonds. Visit the high-security exhibition room to see real, uncut stones and learn the science of how kimberlite pipes bring diamonds to the surface.
• Underground Experience (Optional Add-on): For the true adventurer, descend into the working shafts. Put on your safety gear and witness the industrial power of a modern diamond mine. Note: Strict safety protocols apply; no children under 12 or pregnant guests.
• Cullinan Victorian Village: After the mine tour, take a stroll through the charming oak-lined streets of Cullinan. This historic town is filled with beautifully preserved architecture, quaint cafes, and local art galleries. It feels like stepping back into the late 1800s.
• Luxury Diamond Shopping: Conclude your day with an exclusive visit to the Diamond Room. This is your chance to view and purchase authentic Cullinan diamonds directly at the source, complete with international certification.
