Join us on a private one-hour
Aquabus mini-ferry cruise around False Creek in the heart of Vancouver. You’ll see many major attractions and enjoy stunning views of the city. If it’s not too windy, we will also venture out into English Bay. This is not a guided tour, but the captain will point out scenic attractions and answer your questions.
To start, we’ll walk from the KPU campus to the nearby Lansdowne Station and catch the Skytrain to Olympic Village Station, which is a short walk to our departure dock.
The cruise will end back at our departure dock, but you will have the option to disembark at
Granville Island if you wish. There is lots to see and do on Granville Island: a vibrant public market, restaurants, theatres, and more. It’s a lovely 30-minute walk East along the
seawall From Granville Island to the Olympic Village Skytrain station, or a similar walk West to Kits Beach.
Accessibility: Our Aquabus will be wheelchair accessible, but to stay within the boat’s capacity limit,
we need to know ahead of time if you will be using a wheelchair.What to wear: Our colourful ferry will be covered but it is not heated or completely protected from the elements. You’ll want to dress in layers for the outdoors and wear comfortable, non-slip walking shoes.
