“The guide book that was included was very helpful. Even more helpful was the advice given by the bus driver at each stop. The driver also gave some brief interesting info regarding the area.

But overall, this was a great option for seeing the different parts of the park, after taking the train from Sydney.”

Review of Sydney’s flexible hop-on hop-off ferry pass, with route details, stop-by-stop tips, pricing, timing, and honest drawbacks.
“I always use HOHO and I’m very happy. This time i’m not. I follow the time schedule to watson bay and when I wanted to return on the 3:45pm pickup the boat was hidden and there was not an announcement to find them. I searched and they were in the back and they were leaving me behind. They keep saying they were going to BENTLY which isn’t part of the schedule. I didn’t want to wait another hour so I purchase an OPAL card to get me back to the wharf on the ferry. It was frustrating”
