Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Before we left for Darwin we read some of the reviews for the Blue Taxi Company who operate the shuttle, and they weren't very flattering, however our experience was very good. We arrived at 8.30pm and the shuttle was parked outside the terminal waiting for passengers, you can't book seats, but this wasn't a problem. For the return journey the shuttle does pick ups on the hour and you can book seats, we booked one for 9pm and it arrived at 9.15. So no complaints from us.

If you are traveling alone it is cheaper than a taxi but much slower: in my case an hour vs 15 minutes for a taxi. And if there are at least two of you it is much cheaper to take a taxi.

We booked online and were pleased at the prompt, friendly and efficient service arriving at midnight and promptly delivered to our hotel.

Booked for a transfer to the airport the next day, as recommended by my accommodation (Vitina Studios). I stood outside on the road 15 mins before it was due to 25 mins after. It didn't even drive past. Rang them, they confirmed my booking, but said it had already left. No reason, no apology. They sent a taxi (also Blue Taxis) which arrived quickly, but which cost me double what the shuttle would have Was that always their aim?

We called the shuttle service to pick us up from Darwin for the airport, they informed us after running behind after 15 min by sms, that they are running half an hour late, After waiting 50 min we tried to call them and no one answered , we then saw the bus drop someone off across the street, we proceeded to run across the street to the shuttle and they just took off without us. We had to get an uber instead. We then received another message from them 4 hours later saying they are ready to pick us up now. Worst service ever. Will never trust them again.

I tried about 6 times to contact the Shuttle; their phone number was not answered and neither were the 2 emails I sent. I asked the Receptionist at my apartment if there was another phone number or way to contact the Shuttle. She also tried to contact the Shuttle unsuccessfully both on the day before I was leaving and on the day of my departure.
When I ended up taking a taxi to the Airport there were 2 Shuttle buses there waiting to take customers into town. I spoke to a staff member and told him of my experience and asked to have a phone number to contact the company and he gave me a card with the same phone number I have been unable to get a reply from. Hence this review.
I have taken the Shuttle when I arrived in Darwin so it appears to only be a one-way service; from the Airport into the city.

Booked for hotel to airport early morning. Advised they would be at my hotel at 4pm. They were a no show. I tried to call the office twice and the phone rang out. Absolutely useless. How they stay in business is anyone's guess. Ended up calling an uber instead.

We arrived to Darwin after midnight and took the shuttle instead of taxi as there was a long queue. The reviews I read on the pricing for one way on the shuttle, is outdated. The current price per person one way from airport to city is $17.50. Ian, who's the driver was friendly, helpful and efficient.

The shuttle service desk is located near the exit off the arrivals area.
The driver on duty was Grant and he checked my prepaid booking and walked me out to the waiting shuttle, loaded the baggage and ushered me on board the bus.
Unlike other reviews the bus air conditioning was running whilst I waited in the bus whilst other passengers arrived. The waiting time was approximately 10mins and after departing the airport precinct within another 15 mins I was at my accommodation being the first passenger dropped off.
I utilised the same service for the return journey several days later and again Grant was the driver. The shuttle bus was comfortable clean and on time and the driver courteous.
For the current cost of AUD18 one way or AUD36 return I would use the service again.

This service is non existent outside the busy period. Also, no public transport to the city at all so you're left with only taxi or Uber choice really...

Desideravo sapere se ferma nell'hotel in cui si alloggia o fa delle fermate prestabilite? Grazie!

Hi, the shuttle only stops were people need to be dropped off or where they have bookings.

From Northern Territory
Experience the difference in the Northern Territory
In the heart of Australia lies the Northern Territory, a region that is so different from any other, it redefines adventure. Here, you'll find nature in its rawest form, where the vast and otherworldly terrains invite exploration and awe. The rich Aboriginal heritage, deeply embedded in the art, music and traditions of the land, offers a profound connection to one of the world's oldest living cultures. It's a place where iconic wildlife roams freely, and every sunset transforms the sky into a canvas of vivid hues. The Northern Territory difference lies in its ability to introduce you to a world where natural beauty and cultural richness converge to create original experiences.
*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
