Vancouver Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour

The Big Bus sightseeing bus is a convenient way to explore Vancouver and travel between its most iconic neighbourhoods without having to organise each journey separately. You can enjoy a complete panoramic tour or use the service to create a personalised itinerary, getting off at the places you want to explore at your own pace.

The red route takes you through the city centre and some of Vancouver’s best-known areas. You can visit Canada Place and the Vancouver Convention Centre, discover the historic Gastown neighbourhood and its famous steam clock, stroll through Chinatown or experience the shopping and cultural atmosphere of Granville Island.

The route also takes you into Stanley Park, with stops near the Vancouver Aquarium, Prospect Point, the seafront promenade and Second Beach. It also allows you to explore areas such as Yaletown, the West End and Library Square, combining nature, architecture and city life all in one route.

The Discover ticket offers 24 hours of unlimited travel and is ideal for getting an initial overview of the city. The Essential ticket extends the validity to 48 hours, so you can spread your visits over two days and spend more time in each neighbourhood or at each attraction.

Validity begins when you activate the ticket on the booked day. You can start your tour at any of the designated stops and, from that moment, hop on and off as many times as you like during the 24 or 48 hours included in your chosen option.

As well as the bus tour, both options include an audio guide via a mobile app and four self-guided walking tours. These tours allow you to continue exploring Vancouver at your own pace after getting off the bus.
