Excellent way to get around Darwin and get your bearings for the rest of your stay. Stops at heaps of the tourist spots and points of interest. We visited the Art Gallery and Military Museam using the bus, and revisited other areas on other days as you don't have time to do them all in a day.

The driver's were friendly, helpful and made it easy to see Darwin. Natural air-conditioning LOL with shade upstairs. Good commentary and value for money.

I chose to buy the 48 hour bus ticket and bought my senior’s ticket from the Booth at Stop One. The driver was super helpful explaining the options when I was deciding on my purchase and recommended the purchase of tickets for attractions I planned to visit over the two days. This proved to be a great choice as the line up to purchase tickets at some of the attractions was quite long. Every driver was courteous and readily provided assistance to those requiring help to enter or exit the bus. They also clearly explained the times for pick up, drop off and location even though the brochure clearly displayed the timetable. On the first morning a heavy shower saturated the top level seats so the driver quickly provided a chamois and the seats were soon dry, ready for departure. Up top there was a great view and often a cooling breeze which was most welcome. Downstairs was very popular as it was air conditioned, a must on 36 degrees days. The bus is great value, takes you to the major sites, and even provides a 5pm service on Thursday evenings to the Mindil Beach Markets. The commentary was interesting, informative and often presented with Top End humour. I’d highly recommend taking the bus if you don’t have your own transport or would prefer just to sit back and relax.

This is dead easy to do. Worth a full circuit to get oriented, then jump on and off at the places you like. Well priced, so it's really good value.

Great thing to do to get your bearings first and then get off and explore, there are about 12 stops on the loop, they play an audio telling all about the things that have happened in the past as you are driving by, very interesting.

Great Way to accustom yourself to The Sights Of Darwin City. Commentary on the bus to improve your knowledge of the sights. A worthwhile day of touring.

In their promotional material the Darwin Big Bus vehicle looks quite modern. The one that arrived at our stop was far from it. Air conditioning means open the window, and in the Darwin heat you really want that breeze. The stairs to the open upper deck were beyond my knees - and many others I imagine. Deep and steep! I was off a cruise ship in Darwin for the day, when we paid $37.50 each for a whole-day ticket. But there was still only one bus an hour, which meant that we spent a lot of time standing in the hot sun waiting for the next bus to arrive. This is not the bus to take if you expect to do any shopping in the town. It doesn’t have a shopping area stop. But there is a local bus stop quite near the cruise terminal. The Big Bus route includes the main tourist destinations. Considering that two of them are quite a way out of town probably the $37.50 fare is cheaper than a taxi.

We had a once interrupted - at the museum - 70 minutes round trip of the city which was ok. But in view of the heat and humidity the bus should have at least downstairs ac, such as you find f.e. in Singapore. In view of all A$ 40 per person is quite expensive. More so I wonder what tourists do when not speaking English.

we were in Darwin oct 1 and booked the Big Bus. very good way to see the sights of Darwin IF you plan it propberly, otherwise you will wait a long time for next connection. We followes a route suggested by one of your members. Oct 1st was a bad day, 1st day of wet season timetable where buses run at 1 hour intervals in morning and 90 min intervals in the afternoon. 90 mins is way to far apart. especially at some stop over points where 1/2 and hour is long enough. Buses were very busy and ran late due to so many passengers buying tickets on the bus. drivers were very friendly and courteous.

We booked and paid back in June so we could be very organised with this and other tours of Darwin. The Departure Point on the website ( we were told after we caught an Uber) was wrong due to noone changing this and therefore we had to wait an hour in the hot sun for the bus to come.

The best way to see Darwin. Nice and cool with natural air con and plenty of sights to see. The commentary is informative and the drivers friendly.

The convenience of being able to hop on - hop off to explore Darwin is a major factor in enjoying this facility. The top deck is sheltered so sun screen is not necessary. The commentary is both informative and light hearted.

Bought a premium ticket (2 days and entry to 2 exhibits). Hop on and hop off whenever you want is so handy. It goes by many of the exhibits and displays around Darwin. Top deck was great with a nice breeze all the time. Thoroughly recommend it.

This service is so easy to use, as it says, once you have your ticket you just hop on and off at the different stops. The attractions are very well explained by the running commentary so there is no excuse for not being aware that it is coming up.

We found a bus stop that advertised this and hopped on, so glad we did. We spent the whole day on the bus, getting on and off and random spots. Saw so much of Darwin and the commentary was fantastic. This is a must do.
