Reviews
We booked the opal mine tour and sculpture tour as a package which saved $10 per person. After an introduction we worked our way around all 26 chambers to view the 900 sculptures hand carved in the sandstone walls. We then explored the lower level old mine on an informative and entertaining guided tour with John. Recommended!
Amazing artwork. Guide had a lot of knowledge, and after his talk, we were left to wonder at our own pace and take photos we were told to look out for "wally". We only found 21 Wally's after being down there for almost 2 hours. Well worth the money and experience.
This was an absolute surprise and delight to find in Lightning Ridge - I had not heard about this place during my previous visits many years ago. The tour takes about 1.5-2h and it is very fascinating to see what this one gentleman "past his prime" (he was 58 when he started) created in his moments of boredom. Ex military, not trained in arts at all, what he accomplished there is extraordinary and inspiring. We thoroughlly enjoyed our visit, the kids loved it too, and definitely recommend it.
Amazing experience and lovely guides. The detail in the sculpture work is breathtaking and just gets more and more interesting. Even the kids loved it as they walked through looking for all of the Where’s Wallys hidden amongst the carvings.
Take some coins to leave with Buddha!
Amazing experience, imagine all of this being created by a man using only a butter knife and forks. Doing both the mine tour and the Chambers Tour was excellent. Informative and awesome.
This was fascinating.
Really worth the visit.
Please be aware there are some very steep and very long stairs.
We saw some older folk really struggling with this and for sure they had no idea of how they were getting back up the stairs to the top.
Allow a good two hours here minimum.
This is a highly recommended opal mining tour/experience from both other travellers & locals. And it didn't disappoint.
All done underground. Approx a 2.5 hr guided tour and self walk through underground mine. Very interesting! Learnt a lot. The story on the sandstone Sculptures inside the walls of the mine is fascinating. Beautiful shop to purchase opals inside, too.
Easy to book & pay online. I did both the opal mine tour & and sculpture tour. $85 for both tours, per person. $48 for opal tour only.
I'd highly recommend this tour when umin Lightning Ridge. But in my opinion, l thought the price was a little $$$$.
A highlight of Lightning Ridge, a very worthwhile informative experience. You go down a real mine with a real miner. The colourful stories and experiences of a seasoned miner make the tour so much more and compliment all the facts, figures and history of opal mining in Lighting ridge. Another highlight of the mine is the art work. Animals, people, pop culture characters, the list goes on, all carved into the mine walls.
