In late 2020 Argyle Diamond Mine went into decommissioning and in 2021 we have special permission to fly into the mine site. This is the perfect combination for guests to enjoy both the Bungle Bungle Scenic Flight and the Argyle Diamond Mine tour. The Bungles Scenic Flight will take you over Lake Argyle and the Bungle Bungle Ranges landing at the Argyle Diamond Mine. You are met by a Luridgii Tours guide for a welcome to country before commencing an unforgettable tour through the mine site area and surrounds as it goes into closure and decommissioning. Continue to the diamond shop where you can buy a diamond directly from the source and to the gallery that outlines the history and shows off an extraordinary display of coloured diamonds. We have a buffet lunch, then return through security where your Luridgii guide will drive you back through Miriuwung country to Kununurra, or you can transfer back to Kununurra via Lake Argyle.
