Planning a school excursion or group tour? Umoona Opal Mine offers educational group tours with customized programs designed to engage and inform visitors of all ages. Our experienced guides create memorable learning experiences that bring geology, history, and Australian heritage to life.
School groups benefit from curriculum-aligned content covering Earth sciences, Australian history, Aboriginal culture, and environmental studies. Students learn about opal formation, geological processes, and the unique ecosystem of the outback. Hands-on activities can be arranged to enhance the educational experience.
Our group tours accommodate parties from 10 to 100+ people. We offer flexible scheduling and can customize tour content based on your group's interests and age levels. Coach and bus parking is available on-site, and we can coordinate timing with other Coober Pedy attractions for multi-stop itineraries.
Group pricing provides significant discounts compared to individual tickets. Contact us for a customized quote based on your group size and requirements. We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for large groups, especially during peak tourist season from April to October.
The tour includes underground mine exploration, museum access, and a screening of our documentary film. Add-on options include opal noodling experiences where participants search through tailings for opals, and workshop sessions on opal identification and valuation. Catering can be arranged for groups requiring meals.
