About Big Daddy Party Bus

Big Daddy Party Bus is a Newcastle party bus business that organises hire and packaged days out across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast and the Hunter Valley. The full-size buses come in 15, 25, 35 and 45 passenger sizes and are fitted with laser lights, a sound system, a dance floor, a dance pole and chillers loaded with ice. They have no seatbelts, so groups who want them can book the 24-seat mini party bus, which keeps the sound system, lighting and chillers. Hunter Valley wine tours are a core part of the menu. Packages range from a three-winery party bus day and a full tasting experience to a tour with lunch, a vodka and wine tasting trip, and a beer, wine and spirits itinerary, and the team can build a custom wine tour from $160 per person. Tastings are booked in advance with the wineries, which is why private tour bookings are paid in full ten days ahead. With a driver handling the roads, everyone can enjoy the tastings and still get home safely. Celebration packages sit on top of the bus hire. Hens groups can add a cocktail masterclass or a Hunter Valley wine tour with lunch, bucks groups can choose a brewery tour, a pub crawl or a go-kart day, and birthday groups have a winery package with tastings at three vineyards. Each package lists its minimum group size. BYO drinks are allowed on board, and the chillers are stocked with fresh ice. All prices include GST and the driver and fuel for the hire period, and the person booking must be 18 or over with valid ID.
