It was sooooo much fun. We enjoyed having the day pass, that is the best way to ride the ferries. You can go to all the stops. We also returned at night to view the sunset and city lights. Well worth it.

Enjoyed the experience. We were able to go in both the ferries and it was fun. I had mother in law who had difficulty getting in and out of the boat, the boat operators were patient enough and greeted everyone with a smile.

Itinerary

The jaunty blue-and-white False Creek ferries sail to nine stops around Vancouver's Inner Harbour. With ferries checking in at each dock every five to 15 minutes, exploring at your own pace is a breeze, and it's never a long wait for the next boat.

Aboard this year-round working ferry, the operators are often full of interesting anecdotes about the geography and history of 'The Creek.' You can be sure of an eclectic mix of both passengers and crew, as the service is used by local commuters, market workers, students and tourists in equal numbers. For sightseers, the ferries offer a unique ride with beautiful views of local scenery. Remember to watch for seals!

An all-day ferry pass is an ideal way way to get to all the attractions around Vancouver Harbour. Vouchers purchased online can be redeemed on the dock from the ferry crew. See below for a list and description of ferry stops.

Hop on and hop off all False Creek Ferry routes for the day.

Awesome Experience in Vancouver

Isidro_M, Sep 2026

Great experience. My family enjoyed the hop on and hop off experience. We enjoyed every stop. Lots to see and do. The staff is very friendly and makes your experience very pleasant. Great way to experience Vancouver. We highly recommend this way to travel around Vancouver and sightseeing. The water taxi ride is very fun and timely and a great way to spend a day. We would do this again next time we visit. Thank you for such a great experience. Muchas Gracias!

Relaxing

Edward_B, Sep 2026

If you just want to cruise the harbor and relax, this is a nice thing to do. The staff was nice and was always willing to direct in the right direction. Locations to catch the ferry was a little confusing.

false Creek Ferry All day pass

Ellen_K, Aug 2026

Can be long lines at Granville Island and Sunset beach. Go early. You can also start at a different location where it’s not as popular.

Fun ferries in Vancouver

Good experience

Nisarg_T, Aug 2026

Excellent Ferry!

Ginny_A, Jul 2026

Excellent Ferry boats! Loved riding these back and forth. Never had to wait long at all. They were all helpful and friendly!

False Creek Hop-on/Hop-off Ferry

Therese_M, Jul 2026

Very fun and easy way to see the sights along False Creek. All the boat operators were very friendly.

Awesome trip

Annie_M, Jun 2026

It was a wonderful experience watching the whole city from the ferries and experiencing the beautiful views.

False Creek Ferries

Jessica_H, Jun 2026

The False Creek Ferries are great to get around in Vancouver but you only need this all day pass if you are going to get on and off multiple times. Otherwise just pay when you get on the ferry and it’s much cheaper.

Fun but confusing

Margaret_T, Jun 2026

It was a fun little ride but confusing to find where to catch it if you aren’t familiar with the city. It

I must do for a self tour!

Cristina_H, Jun 2026

Purchasing the ticket before hand was convenient and very well priced for hop-on and hop- off. Not only was inexpensive but everyone "driving the ferry" were nice, attentive and gave me advice to places to visit in every stop. In addition, the Ferries were coming every 5 minutes and I never had to wait in between stops, and everything was within walking distance and if you stay in downtown the ports are close to many hotels. Highly recommended!

Cruising the harbor! 😎

Tricia_G, May 2026

Great way to see different spots along the harbor. With a day pass, you can hop off at a stop and explore at your leisure and then hop back on. Lots of ferries coming and going across the day.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Tricia, we are glad that you experience was enjoyable. Thank you for letting us know.

Delightful way to spend...

Joyce_A, May 2026

Delightful way to spend our final few hours in Vancouver before flying home. Saw seals and bald eagles and the staff were informative and helpful thank you.

Response from Host, May 2026

Hi Joyce, We are glad that the seals and eagles gave you a proper send off - Vancouver-style.

Exploring Vancouver by Water: Hop-On Hop-Off Granville Island Ferry Adventure

Aliah_I, Oct 2025

It was such a fun and relaxing way to explore Vancouver. The views from the water were beautiful, and the stops made it easy to visit places like Granville Island, David Lam Park and Yaletown. The boats came often — so convenient! Definitely worth getting the day pass.

Very easy to find and all...

Barbara_Y, Oct 2025

Very easy to find and all staff friendly and helpful. Great way to see Granville Island and discover other hidden gems along the waterfront.

Great ferry

Sharon_L, Oct 2025

Great friendly crew. It was raining and we were restricted to some of the docks/stops so after granville island we were encouraged to stay on the ferry and have a ride around to each dock as part of our day pass.

Very difficult to find...

Jamie_R, Sep 2025

Very difficult to find the first hop on spot. No location markers in the booking beyond a general location. We got on the wrong company's ferries because the operator said it was correct then the next ferry operator clued us into the fact we had tickets to a different ferry. Now the ferry people were all very friendly and the ride was fun but very difficult to find the right hop on spot.

Great experience. ...

Steven_R, Sep 2025

Great experience. Informative boat operators. Beautiful weather. Five stars. Would definitely recommend

Enjoyable morning

Paul_C, Aug 2025

Great option

Jason_H, Jul 2025

These little boats are very convenient. We purchased the day pass and rode the whole route for a great view of the harbor.

Hop on ferry bus

Suzana_B, Jul 2025

Lovely little ferry and great way to see Vancouver from the water. You can stop and enjoy different stops - museum or go for a nice meal

Disappointing

JENIFER_C, Jun 2025

Nice boat ride but expected narration along the way. Not very knowledgeable. Disappointing because I took this trip b4 and it was much better

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Jenifer, I am sorry to hear that your were disappointed, I will discuss your experience with our team and see how we can improve. In future, for those interested in more information, we recommend our narrated tour. It covers all of False Creek in one hour and is separate from our regular ferry service.

Ferry service

David_R, Jun 2025

We used the ferry service to explore the bay, stopping off at Granville Island first. A quick, fun way to get around, The crew were helpful and fun with good local knowledge.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks David, We are glad you enjoyed your visit to False Creek and Granville Island.

Great Transport

Kerry_L, Jun 2025

What a great way to explore along False Creek! We had very friendly ferry boat drivers who were so happy to impart their local knowledge.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Kerry, We are happy to hear that your False Creek exploration went well.

Great Experience

Ronaldo_S, May 2025

The experience was great overall. I was expecting a boat similar to the one in the advertisement, but a smaller one arrived instead. However, the boat driver was very friendly, which made the trip enjoyable.

Not as expected

Mariebride, May 2025

The Little ferry was great and the captain very courteous however did not go to many places where you could get off and see something.

Response from Host, May 2025

Sorry to hear that you didn't find something interesting on shore. Did you know that you can see within a one minute walk of the ferry docks: Granville Island and the famous Public Market, Sunset Beach, the Vancouver Maritime Museum, BC Place, Roundhouse Community Centre, David Lam Park, Vanier Park, the Olympic Village and numerous restaurants and activities? Expand the radius to a 5 minute walk and the list would go off the page.
