Kukoo Kunuku Bar Hopping is the painted party bus. You will have seen it go past your hotel with the lights on and everybody singing.

How Kukoo Kunuku Bar Hopping runs

The trip lasts three and a half hours. It is over-18s only. There are two departures a night, at 5 PM and at 8 PM.

The earlier one is the gentler version. The later one is not.

Kukoo Kunuku have run this long enough that the bus is part of the island’s furniture. In fact, most people photograph it before they book it.

Where it fits in a trip

This is the natural other half of a snorkeling holiday. Mornings go to the reef, because the water is calm early. Then one night goes to the bus.

Stops, inclusions and the current price are on Kukoo Kunuku’s own booking page.

Other evenings

For something slower, book Island Sips & Night Bites. For daytime and all ages, there is the Kukoo Island Tour.

More options sit under party and nightlife.
