Reviews for Blue Mountains Explorer Bus
383 reviews
The HOHO bus exceeded my expectations. The drivers were very friendly and provided excellent commentary throughout the ride plus a few tips/tricks to get the most out of our day. They traveled a pretty long route with 24 stops I think. The double decker bus had great views, plenty of seats, great air conditioning. The only improvement I saw that would have provided a better experience for us would have been more frequent buses. Right now, if you get off at a stop you are there for an hour. Some of the stops we just wanted to get out for a few pictures but didn’t want to wait 50 minutes for another bus. We would have been able to see more if the buses came every 30 minutes. Other than that I highly recommend it. We purchased the Kookaburra all day pass that included Scenic World tickets with lunch voucher. Great addition to our trip and highly worth it.

Absolutely brilliant way to get to all the best places in and around Katoomba. Local knowledge from the drivers very helpful too. Just make sure you get your timings right and it won't let you down.

A very easy way to see the sights of Katoomba. Staff at the booking office were very helpful. We did the 1 hour Boomerang tour.

The bus is a great way to get around, not having my own transport this made everything so easy. Train from Sydney and then hoping on and off the bus. Definitely worth it. The scenic world is very touristy, but broke up the day well and gave a good break from walking. Maybe less worth it.

The concept is good, but the execution is a waste of time
The concept is good, but the execution is a waste of time. Because the bus only runs once an hour in a single direction, missing it by five minutes means a 55-minute wait. While some stops don't have enough to do for a full hour, others—like Scenic World—have long queues that make it impossible to guarantee you’ll catch the next bus. You are much better off using the local public buses, which run more frequently and in both directions.

Scenic Wonderland!
Wonderful day in the beautiful Blue Mountains. We did the Explorer Hop On Hop Off Bus including Scenic World. The rides and scenery were spectacular. Great commentary from the Bus Drivers. Friendly staff. The desk staff at the office in town, after we got off the train from Sydney, were so welcoming and helpful.

Great service
This is a great way to get to see the sighrs. We stayed jn Katoomba but real easy to find the bus stops. Feel its a bit misleading hop on hop off as when you get off its an hour to the next bus so any stops with not much there isnt worth it. We did the honeymoon lookout walk to echo point was a nice easy walk. The drivers are friendly, helpful and jnformative. The back seat could do with a bell button for stopping and due to engine noise can be difficult to hear the announcements but overall well worth the money.
