This is the 1st time I used Parkbus but it won’t be the last.

Took a day trip to Algonquin Park with Parkbus. They pick up on Asquith Ave. in the Bloor/Yonge area and have a quick break stop at the Onroute Barrie. All stops enable guests ample time to explore the destination. This is a highly a good idea trip for those that appreciate spending time in nature minus distractions.

Sixteen years of doing this

Parkbus started in 2010 with one bus to Algonquin, because getting to Ontario’s parks without a car was close to impossible. It still would be, which is why we are still here.

Highly recommend them for Joffre’s Lake or even Golden Ears/Garibaldi trip. The bus service is so useful for people who doesn’t want to drive and gives return facility. They were on time and bus facility was good too. Total worth the cost if you want to avoid hassle driving/parking.

I have always had excellent experiences with Parkbus. I have been to many of their destinations, and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. The ambassadors have been knowledgeable and friendly. The drivers drive safely, and with the passengers’ comfort in mind.

Used this service for a weekend in Algonquin. These guys stuck to the schedule well and ambassadors checked everyone in at their pickups. Easy drop offs all across the park and across the city. Reasonably priced and no need to think about a rental car to get to the wilderness.

Factor in the cost of gas, parking and renting a car, it's a lot cheaper than taking a personal vehicle.

Parkbus is a great option for nature lovers, whether it's a day trip or overnight camping getaway.
