5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🫶🫶🫶

5.00Captain Rusty was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the area with great in-site and stories to tell about False creek. When I’m back in Vancouver and take the False creek tour again, I’ll ask for Captain Rusty!

5.00The narrator was friendly and funny (forgot his name). He gave us a bit of history, no rush, and answered our questions. We enjoyed it and will recommend it for sure.
Relaxing and Informative

5.00It 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.

5.00False Creek Ferries were a great-value way to explore Vancouver’s scenic waterways and get to Granville Island. The small crafts were charming and comfortable, with friendly staff and excellent service throughout. Multiple stops along the route made it easy to hop on and off, giving us the flexibility to explore different parts of the city at our own pace. It’s a relaxing and convenient alternative to traditional transit, with beautiful views and a laid-back vibe that adds to the experience. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see Vancouver from the water while staying connected to the city’s top attractions.

5.00This tour is a very small boat so it's a fun way to meet others. The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. It's really just a water taxi service normally but they offer this one hour narrated tour which is nice just to get to know the waterfront of Granville Island, Stanley Park and ports.
