Intro
False Creek is the body of water that separates Granville Island and the main downtown area. There are several ways to enjoy the creek; by ferry, boat rental, kayak, standup paddle boarding, and more! But a great way to relax, enjoy some views of Vancouver, and explore more areas of Vancouver, is to take a ferry around False Creek. This post will go over taking a ferry around False Creek, Vancouver.
Ferry Options
If you are interested in taking a ferry, then I suggest taking the False Creek Ferry or Aquabus along the creek! When it’s cold and windy out, they close the windows so you can still soak in the views while also enjoy being on the water.
Ferry Pass
You can purchase the All Day Pass and hop off at any of the dock stops along the route, and hop back on one of the many ferries servicing the route. However, if you purchase a ticket for use on one ferry line, it is not compatible with the other. So if you get off at a dock to explore the nearby sights, and want to continue the ferry ride, be sure to get on the ferry line you purchased your ticket for.
The False Creek Ferry are cute little blue boats, and the Aquabus are red and rainbow-colored. Regardless of which ferry line you choose, there are several ferries running the route so you won’t really have to wait very long for the next one. You can either purchase your ticket when boarding the ferry, or pre-purchase through their website. View False Creek Ferry tickets, or Aquabus tickets.

Ferry Dock Stops
Both ferry lines pretty much have the same stops, except False Creek Ferry has one more that stops at the Maritime Museum towards the West. Check out the False Creek Ferry dock locations map here, and the Aquabus dock locations map here.
You’re sure to find an interesting area to explore at each of the stops. There’s the David Lam Park stop which has nearby David Lam Park with several land and water art installations you can admire. Yaletown stop has Cooper’s park, where a Time Top sculpture is cleverly placed along the shoreline, making it seem like a spaceship was washed up from the ocean! Lastly, the farthest stop at The Village has awesome views of Vancouver skyline, with BC Place Stadium and Science World in view.
