Hogladyrider Posted September 4, 2023 #2055 Share Posted September 4, 2023 @Saint Greg...wow the Hop On Hop Off has changed a lot since I took it back in May 2009. Back then it was an open air trolley, We paid $5 at the port to store our luggage for the day as we had a red eye out of Vancouver. We walked out to the curb at the port and purchased our Hop On Hop Off tickets and off we went. Guess Vancouver has grown over the years. When we arrived pre-cruise we stayed at Blue Horizon and morning of the cruise they kept our luggage for free, plus a nice tip and we went over to Capillano Susension Bridge, what an experience! Ironic you mentioned a Triathalon today, when we cruise out of Vancouver May 2025 we are there the night before the race and it is going to be difficult to get a hotel room...sigh...it's always something. Enjoy your day in Vancouver! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 4, 2023 Author #2056 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Apparently if you are here for the night and you have a hoho ticket you can get an evening tour of both Stanley park and queen Elizabeth park for just $15 at stop 1..by the port. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your day in Vancouver! Yeah just paying for storage alone would’ve been $15 for a large bag or $10 for a small bag. And the hoho tickets alone are $64. The big suspension bridge is really expensive because I think it’s a theme park. I want to say 100 or 150. But then there’s a smaller one somewhere that’s free.

But it only cost me $3 😂 Just got off work and transiting home! You walked and rode my running route in the park! I run around the sea wall to the totems, cut through to the other side and double back past the gun and Deadman’s island, then around the lagoon and back along the seawall to home. 10k 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 4, 2023 Author #2068 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Of course Gastown is going to be the last stop because this driver is taking a break. So I’m either going to have to wait for another bus, walk, or Uber. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
