Deals to Victoria
Going to Victoria? Check these options for better deals:
BackyardBC.com (hotel only, BC residents' rates)
BCFerriesVacations.com (hotel + ferry pkgs)
PacificCoach.com (hotel + coach bus transfer pkgs)
For the Canada Day weekend I was looking for 2 nts at a 4* downtown hotel. Peak expensive travel, and travelocity.ca and hotels.ca prices ranged from $224 to $349/nt. Yikes!
Miss 604 recently featured BackyardBC so I gave it a whirl...Surprise! Prices either dropped or were improved upon with free extras like parking and breakfast. For extra measure I checked rates directly on hotel websites, and only one hotel had an even better CAA rate.
Add in transportation... ferry fare and city-to-ferry transfers on both sides (car, city bus, or coach bus), and maybe parking. Check for packages with your desired transportation options, make sure you're comparing apples to apples, and you might be surprised with the savings. Here's what I found:
BC Ferries package: 2 nts @ Delta hotel, ferry fare for car + 2 adults, and taxes = $538. Stripping out the value of the ferries and taxes gives a hotel rate of $171/nt... much better than the $215 I had found elsewhere.
PCL package: 2 nts @ Empress Hotel, ferry fare for 2 adults, r/t coach bus from downtown to downtown, and taxes = $546. Stripping out ferries, bus, and tax gives a hotel rate of $165/nt... compared to $297!!!
I believe PCL packages are flexible, too, so you could drive to Tsawwassen, park, and get coach bus transfers on the Victoria side, or use the coach bus on the Vancouver side and the city bus on the Victoria side.
*If you go the hotel-only route, you may also want to check US$ prices on priceline.com, and get adventurous with hotwire.com's "blind" offers and priceline.com's Name-Your-Own-Price (refer to my article about using these sites).

Moose Travel Network: Canada's Hop-On/Hop-Off Backpackers Bus
Changing up my deal posts to highlight this everyday value option for travelling eastern or western Canada with ease and without giving up flexibility. Might be a neat option for some readers for this summer.
With Moose, you get the road-trip experience without having to worry about driving the car or finding directions and places of interest. You'll still stop at interesting sights along the way, and you can spend several days in spots that really grab your attention. A lot of what you're going to want to see on these routes is already built in to the trip itinerary so it's a lot easier than making your own trip via Greyhound buses, but you do give up the one Greyhound perk: frequency.
The full Western network includes Vancouver Island, Whistler, the Okanagan, Banff, and Jasper ($1059 for a minimum of 15 days, R/T Vancouver), and you can pick as short a trip as 2 days to Whistler ($80). Some meals are included, as are taxes, fuel surcharges, a tour guide driver, and sometimes small activities and park fees. Accommodations are not included, but a hostel dormitory bed is guaranteed at each overnight stop ($20-38/nt).
Eastern tours range from a Niagara Falls day trip from Toronto ($55) to the full journey out to Nova Scotia ($1439 for at least 20 days R/T Toronto), and even forays into the US (US tours sold out for 2011). Accommodation is pre-booked for each passenger but is an additional cost.
Tours don't all depart every day so check the schedule for the next bus before you decide to hop-off and spend extra time somewhere. Discounts are available with various backpacker, hostel, and student cards.
One blogger happens to be riding the bus right now... follow @ibackpackcanada on Twitter or watch for posts on his blog to get his take on the experience.

Includes R/T Greyhound bus ticket and a gondola sightseeing pass ($40 value). Mountain Bike pkgs also offered.
$39 R/T -- Whistler, Bus Only

Alternatively, Pacific Coach Lines and Perimeter Bus also provide bus service between Vancouver (airport and downtown) and Whistler. Door-to-door service for hotels in both cities, which Greyhound doesn't provide, but it costs more than twice as much for the service. Same basic trip time as Greyhound (2.5 hours, city to city) but could be longer with lots of stops.
