Lovely personal tour of amazing quarry Best experience in Oamaru to learn how the region's iconic limestone is extracted and cut. I loved touring with Judy who has been running the family business. She has lots of amazing family stories to tell. This tour isn't advertised enough in Oamaru. Highly recommend this!

Great tour Had not thought of doing this tour as hadn’t seen it advertised apart from on Trip advisor. Great tour. Judy was very friendly and informative. Learnt about the history of the quarry and how they extract the stone etc. Definitely worth going if you want to learn more about local history and Oamaru stone.

Interesting tour One of the owners took us around the quarry explaining the history and process of mining the limestone. We found it very interesting.

Amazing tour! This tour was incredible. Great value at $20 for a over an hour with Judy, 5th generation owners, giving us a drive around their family quarry of famous Oaramru stone. Absolutely fascinating to see- really informative. We were a couple doing this tour but would also recommend for families as the kids would love to see the diggers up close. Highly recommend!

Massive A wonderful education on how this rock is formed and the huge asset it is to NZ. You love Oamaru stone and the people who mine it after a visit.
