Stanley Park Shuttle Tour of Stanley Park
The Stanley Park Shuttle Tour is back for 2024, but is operated differently than the one that was running prior to 2018.
The new Stanley Park Shuttle Tour is operated by the Great Canadian Trolley Company. It is a live, guided Hop-on Hop-off tour around Stanley Park with stops at the main tourist attractions. It also includes stops in the City of Vancouver. Passes are purchased for 24 hour or 48 hour period.
This new shuttle is different than the one which only went around Stanley Park, had a few more stops, and was non-guided.
There are other bus tours that stop at only 1 or 2 places in the park so if you really want to visit all of Stanley Park, this new shuttle is your best option!
