Overview

Don’t take the ferry from downtown Vancouver to Granville Island—the most fun way to explore is by kayak. Paddling along False Creek is not only an eco-friendly way to get around, but it lets you slow down and savor the scenery. Enjoy panoramic views from the water as you glide past the Olympic Village, David Lam Park, and Science World, then take a break and dip your toes in the sand at English Bay Beach.

Heide_L, Jul 2024

Had a great time on the kayaking and learning the history of False Creek with Teigan. the coffee and Lee's donuts at the end were the icing on the cake. Highly recommend if you like being on the water.
