Highlights

See the best of Sydney and Bondi Beach with the flexibility and ease of the Big Bus Hop-on Hop-off Tour. Ride aboard an open-top double-decker bus and take in unobstructed views of Sydney’s iconic landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour, and the sun-kissed sands of Bondi Beach.


With two routes to choose from and onboard recorded commentary, you’ll gain fascinating insights into the city’s history, culture, and must-see attractions. Hop off whenever something catches your eye—stroll the waterfront, browse markets, or relax at the beach—and simply hop back on when you’re ready to continue. This is the perfect way to experience Sydney at your own pace, making it ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to revisit their favorite spots.

  • Flexible Exploration: Ride unlimited times for 24 or 48 hours, allowing you to explore at your own pace with stops at top landmarks in Sydney and Bondi.
  • Panoramic Views: Enjoy sweeping city and coastal vistas from the open-top double-decker bus, perfect for sightseeing and photography.
  • Optional Harbor Cruise: Upgrade to include a 1-day Captain Cook hop-on, hop-off harbor cruise, for a unique water-based perspective of Sydney.
  • Guided Yet Independent: Experience the benefits of a guided tour—commentary and curated stops—without a strict itinerary, ideal for flexible travelers.
