About Us

ParkBus connects city dwellers to Canada’s most iconic parks and trails—offering stress-free, eco-friendly transportation for all types of adventurers.

Bringing Nature Within Reach Since 2010

Parkbus is Canada’s ticket to the great outdoors. Since 2010, we've been connecting urban residents with nature by providing accessible, eco-friendly transportation from city centres to provincial and national parks across the country. What started as a grassroots initiative has grown into Canada’s most trusted way to experience the outdoors, with over 5,000 passengers annually and hundreds of five-star reviews from adventurers of all ages and backgrounds.

We offer both self-guided and guided experiences, ensuring that everyone—from first-time hikers to seasoned outdoor enthusiasts—can enjoy the beauty of Canada’s natural spaces safely and comfortably. With partnerships spanning park agencies, municipalities, and community organizations, Parkbus continues to break down barriers to outdoor recreation, encouraging healthier lifestyles and a deeper connection to the environment. As we expand, our focus remains on accessibility, sustainability, and inspiring more people to discover the incredible green spaces that make Canada so unique.
