In an open-sided bus, we were Darwin’s original hop-on, hop-off bus. We still have two of these buses which sometimes make appearances for a City Explorer Tour during Darwin’s dry season, but they are more often used for celebrations, events and functions. Our regular tours utilise our air-conditioned coaster buses with a maximum of 20 passengers.

Beginning at 9am pick-up from your city accommodation the 5-hour experience takes in all of Darwin’s major attractions from WWII Oil Storage Tunnels, Museum and Art Gallery of NT, Darwin Military Museum, to the Qantas Hangar, Fannie Bay Gaol and Darwin Aviation Museum (and lunch at the Parap Markets on Saturday) with all entrance fees included.
