Darwin City Explorer, known locally as the Tour Tub, has been showcasing Darwin’s top sites and attractions since 1985.
We were Darwin’s original hop-on, hop-off bus. Two of our open-sided buses sometimes make an appearance on a City Explorer Tour during Darwin’s dry season, but they are more often used for celebrations, events, and functions. Our regular tours use our air-conditioned coaster buses, which can carry a maximum of 20 passengers. The Darwin City Explorer tour is the most comprehensive in town.
Pick-up begins from your city accommodation at 9.00am.
The 5-hour experience takes in all of Darwin’s major attractions, from the WWII Oil Storage Tunnels, Museum and Art Gallery of NT, and Darwin Military Museum to the Qantas Hangar and Darwin Aviation Museum (and lunch at the Parap Markets on Saturday), with all entrance fees included.
Along the way, our expert local guide will tell you about the people, facts, and antidotes that have shaped the city. They can also answer your questions about Darwin and the Top End.
The tour includes pick-ups and drop-offs at your city accommodation, or for an additional AUD$10.00pp we’ll meet you at your caravan park.
