Big Pink Hop On Hop Off - Saint John Double Decker Bus Shore Excursion Stops & Map
Big Pink Bus Tour Hop-on Hop-off Shore Excursion
For our port day in Saint John, New Brunswick we booked the Big Pink Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour. We booked this tour through the cruise line and it was $75 per adult for the day.
At the pier, we traded in our shore excursion tickets for a sticker that was our ticket to ride the bus. We were also given the map of all the stops the Big Pink Bus was going to make - click the image below to see it all.
Saint John Hop on Hop Off Bus Route Map
The complete loop took about an hour and a half, and it gives a great overview of the entire town. Some highlights were driving through Lily Lake Park, having an extended stop at the Reversing Rapids, and seeing the chainsaw carvings at Wolastoq National Historic Site. We were not the only ship in port when we visited so our bus was more crowded than normal. We thought it would be best to stay onboard and see the entire loop.
The description on the website from the cruise line is:
