Allow 40 minutes for your visit. No need to book ahead during summer, unless there are over ten in your group - see group bookings.

The tour underground can be muddy, especially during the wetter months. Bring closed-toe footwear and a waterproof jacket just in case, your own torch if you have one, and plenty of luck to strike it rich!

If you or anyone else in your group, has a dislike for being in confined dark spaces, then there are alternative activities for you to enjoy instead of the underground section of the tour - including gold panning!
