    40 Min Round Trip Mini Cruise Ferry Ride

    Round Trip 40 min Mini Cruise Ferry Ride - I was disappointed that there was not any narrator driver who would tell us about the scenic boat ride since it was mentioned in the false creek ferries website.

    A Fun Trip with Friendly Skippers

    Take the water taxi/ferry while in Vancouver. You'll be happy that you did! Very convenient and is an enjoyable ride along the water. Also, an economical way of getting around the city with a stunning view.

    Fun trip to Granville Island

    At $5,50 return, the False Creek Ferry is a great way to get to Granville Island from the West End. The boats are cute and run regularly.

    Took the ferry from David Nam park to Granville Island, the boats are super cute and the drivers we had that day were very kind and smiling. A nice alternative from the car or bus and with a view!

    offer a plethora of activities and entertainment
    options, leaving no one bored. The highlight of the

    overhead and the smell of the sea invigorate its many

    They accept credit cards (Visa and MasterCard) and debit cards at their Granville Island dock, this is a good point to start if you want round trip fares, I believe it’s cash only on the boat for journeys from other docks.

    Unfortunately, not set up for that as far as I can see. You might email to ask. Very bobbing around type small boat, little deck space.
