This tour is a great option for guests whose cruise ends in Sydney. Once you have disembarked the ship and collected your luggage, you will exit the terminal building and meet a Big Bus representative who will collect your luggage.
Then, enjoy sightseeing, local attractions, shopping, museums, art galleries, restaurants and more on this tour that allows you to explore Sydney at your own pace and according to your own interests.
An open-top bus provides fantastic views and an entertaining multi-lingual audio narrative in available in your choice of eight languages.
Your tour ticket is valid all day with two great loops so you can explore one or both routes. The Sydney Loop includes the inner city surrounding Darling Harbour, where you can hop off to visit attractions the Australian Museum, Sydney Sea Life Aquarium and Sydney Tower Eye, as well as the Royal Botanical Gardens, Chinatown and Surry Hills. The Bondi Loop is a coastal adventure through Sydney's Eastern Bays and sun-soaked Bondi — a must for beach-lovers.
Buses arrive at each of the 23 stops every 30 minutes, and a full circuit of each loop takes approximately 90 minutes.
When you have completed your day in Sydney, return to the luggage storage facility near Stop #1. The staff can assist you with a taxi or private transfer to the airport (at your own expense). The luggage storage facility is open 24 hours.
Notes:
You must make your own way to the Big Bus representative on the pier, who will escort you to the luggage storage facility. Then, head to Stop 1 across from the cruise ship terminal at Circular Quay. Wear comfortable walking shoes. This is a hop-on, hop-off service and is not exclusive to Holland America Line guests; the tour is open to the general public. The tour is unguided; you are merely purchasing a ticket for the bus service. You must exchange your voucher for a hop-on, hop-off ticket with the bus driver upon boarding the first bus. A clean headset is issued to you at the beginning of your tour, and you will keep it for the duration. Expect traffic delays and possible wait times at the stops associated with the service. It is your responsibility to return to the ship before all-aboard time. Entrance fees to attractions along the route are not included. Due to the nature of this tour, there will be no refunds. Participants must negotiate one step to board the bus. Where applicable, participants must climb steps to reach the bus' upper level.
