⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a wonderful time on the Vancouver False Creek Ferry Tour! The ride was smooth, the views were exceptionally beautiful, and it was such a relaxing way to see the city from the water. Huge shout-out to Captain Rusty! — his narrative was both entertaining and informative, and he made the whole experience extra special. Definitely one of the highlights of my Vancouver trip! 🫶🫶🫶

Even though it was rainy and I was the only passenger they still took me out and made me feel like it was no trouble. Amazing time to be on the water and learn about Vancouver!

Discovering Vancouver’s Waterfront with False Creek Ferries

Relaxing and Informative

Sharon_B, Oct 2025

It was a delightful trip. Our tour guide, Graeme, was personable and informative. He is knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as current events. It was most enjoyable to be on the water after so many land tours. The weather was dismal for us, but do not let that deter you. I would highly recommend it.

Best ferry ride Vancouver Canada don’t miss it

Lynne_C, Sep 2025

Real estate?

Adam_K, Sep 2025

Guide rambled on about Vancouver real estate. Yes, real estate. Other than that, no major complaints.

Good one hour overview!

Lance_R, Sep 2025

Good overview of the False Creek area. Narrated by the boat pilot. They used an electric boat so it was quiet and could hear the pilot/guide. Good way to spend an hour in the Grandview Island area.

False Creek Harbour Tour

Christine_G, Aug 2025

Highly recommend the narrated tour! Our Captain had excellent knowledge of Vancouver and False Creek. Very entertaining tour with great fun tidbits that we had locals did not know. Would definitely recommend and go out again.

Best views of False Creek up close

DenisAllan_P, Jun 2025

Our skipper was super-friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable. The tour visited diverse locations within False Creek, and outwards to English Bay Beach, encompassing many aspects of the history and development of Vancouver. The small group size on the very quiet electric ferry promoted an inclusive and conversational environment.
