Overall combo is good. Make sure choose captain cook harbor hop on off next day so you can utilize effectively. Also start big bus hop on off after sea life aquarium visit so you get 24 hours from start and you can cover 2 days in bus i.e. second half and next day first half in bus.

We liked how big the aquarium is and that it had tonnes to look at-a drawback which totally isnt your fault was how busy it was at the time that we went- i find it crazy that adults push to the front(in front of children) to take pics of every exhibit. Favourites were the penguins, sharks and massive Rays

There is no clear instruction on your online website that the scan for tickets must be done at the wharf before boarding so paper tickets for the zoo can be obtained there. Place well informed signage at the wharf and educate the staff involved I.e Ferry operators that paper tickets are required for zoo entry.

The ticketing experience turned out to be a nightmare for us. We needed to unlock our International online bank app to pay you. Didn't realise your company was based in Berlin. When we opened the banking app we were immediately scammed for $200. Next time we pay cash...it's safer

We had a GREAT time on both the bus and the water cruise! We only went on the red route and not the blue route. There was a problem getting them to honor our ticket for the cruise. The information on the code was just for the bus, but not the cruise, even though the cruise was in the title. After working with the folks from The Big Bus, we got it straightened out. Apparently, you're using an older code. The bus trip was great about hitting all the highlights of the city.

Overall combo is good. Make sure choose captain cook harbor hop on off next day so you can utilize effectively. Also start big bus hop on off after sea life aquarium visit so you get 24 hours from start and you can cover 2 days in bus i.e. second half and next day first half in bus.
