Traveler Reviews

We usually check out the hop on/off tour bus and Darwin was no exception. We managed to incorporate both museums into the day trip and really maximized the ticket use. Oddly enough, the hop on/off bus map seemed to be the only map of the city …!

All the museums excellent and Cullen Bay. Best to jump on bus at 9am so you can see more . Allow enough time at the Cyclone Tracy museum and the Army Museum lots to see.

The bus was a great way to travel around Darwins Beaches, Tourist Attractions and suburbs -a very informative commentary and the driers were friendly. A must do when in Darwin.

Great service. Double level allows you to see the city from higher up. Driver courteous and professional

We hopped off at the Darwin Gallery & Museum which was beautifully presented & most educational, for adults & children alike. We also hopped off at the Waterfront where we enjoyed lunch in one of the lovely restaurants & a fun swim in the Wave Pool Being a Thursday we were able to time it well to hop off at the Mindil Markets to enjoy the huge range of food delights & the handcrafts. We were impressed with the recorded commentary, much better than having to fiddle with ear plugs to listen.

Upstairs was great and the tour around the city gave us a outline of thd city. The commentary was good and the fact that the bus ran to a schedule meant you could plan your day. Thanks

Worth the experience. We went day 1 and it gave us an overview of Darwin. The drivers were a wealth of knowledge and we had the choice of wher/when we wanted to go

Great tour showing a lot of the sights in Darwin. Good commentary and easy to hopon and off. Thoroughly enjoyed

Visiting Darwin, this should be the first thing you should do to give you an overview to where to visit next!

Great commentary by very friendly and knowledgeable drivers. It was a great way to learn the lay of the land and to get a potted history of Darwin
