I don’t know if Aquabus is an effective means of transportation, but it is sure as fun! For only around $ 5 USD round-trip, this is a good deal for a river cruise on a cute water shuttle to see Vancouver skyline from the water — Definitely a steal from typically overpriced river cruises near other popular tourist attractions. You can hop on from Granville Island to downtown or simply take a ride around False Creek. No matter why though, Aquabus is a cool experience to be had to explore Vancouver!

The aquabus is the duck of public transportation: little, cute, efficient, and nice to have around!

i’m from los angeles and i totally loved this. cute little ferry! our toddler loved it. a great way to get around to various points of vancouver. knowing that granville island offered 3 hour free parking, and with the plan to have lunch there anyway, we took the aquabus from granville island to the village for our day at telus science world. we never had to wait long for the aquabus on either our trip there or back. the captains were very friendly and social. we even saw seals right by our ferry. :) highly recommend as a fun little trip!

It’s a cute and novel way to get around town. It’s like a two minute ride from Howe to Granville island. It would cost more money taking a cab there than the Aqua bus.

I had some good friends of mine visit from the states and wanted to visit Granville Island. Since they were staying in downtown we walked to the Hornby Street Aquabus landing. It was easy to find, no long lines and the operators of the Aquabus was friendly and helpful. Next time I think I’m going to do all of False Creek!

Cute scenic bus at least worth doing once if you’re local and a quirky thing if you’re visiting. I did this since I am having some people out of town for the U2 show and they wanted to do something reasonably touristy while exploring Vancouver (I will have many reviews on my adventures to follow). Price is modest, short trip.

Years ago, loved taking the Aquabus to get around in Vancouver. It’s $ 3.50 one way or $ 5.50 return between Granville Island and Hornby Street which is a little pricey for a short 2 – 3 minute ride but so convenient, and quicker than walking back downtown.
They run about every 5 minutes and there were only 5 people on our trip around 4:30 leaving Granville. Once everyone was onboard, we quickly departed and one of the staff came to collect the money. The staff were both young but friendly.
More fun than taking a taxi, and different stops to check out the attractions!

It was very short and it was pretty cheap. 8 $ each person. He talked a bit and told us about what we were seeing. I think it’s a fun place to see more of Vancouver and if you are tired of walking to just sit down.

A very quaint way to travel, especially on a gorgeous day!
I wanted to head downtown from Granville Island and opted to go this route as opposed to the bus which is cheaper. As a tourist though, I think this is something you have to experience!
I liked that it was informal — driver appeared to be in his 20s, wearing a Rolling Stones tee. However what wasn’t the greatest, as a tourist, was that the stops weren’t announced. He knew that I was going to Yaletown, and after the driver let a couple people off and started to pull away, I asked him what stop it was… Yaletown. He didn’t seem annoyed and kindly turned around for me.
I didn’t time it, but trip was like 10mins for ~$ 4. Again, just do it once if you’re an out-of-towner!

A great way to get around the False Creek area of Vancouver. Boats pull up to the dock by the market regularly, you just hop on buy a ticket and you’re off. The crew is friendly, it’s just a nice way to get around. Aquabus is definitely more popular than the competition, I can see why.

Sure, this would be an expensive way to commute… but just for a little bit of fun on an afternoon it’s fantastic.
We like to take the Aquabus to Granville island just for something to do. Fares are actually very reasonable, and they take plastic!
The captains are all very nice, and always help me load my psychically challenged kids into the little boats.
The kids think taking a little ferry is an adventure all on it’s own, let alone the destination.

Love the Aqua Bus services of Vancouver BC.
It is easy affordable and staff is very friendly.
Would recommend to purchase day pass makes it worry free commute.
Take Aqua Bus from Granville Island to International Place or Science Center — it is a 25 – 30′ minute ride with possible short stops in between but on a sunny day it would be perfect ride and City tour from the bay.
One way ride was 2.80−3 and around trip $ 5.50 and whole day O believe was $ 15.
On a sunny day it is a very smooth ride, heard it is less pleasant on a windy day but luckily did not witness that :)
Get to the closest Aqua Bus stop to you and wait for the Aqua Bus not a long wait. I have waited 2-less then a 10′ each time. If you do not have already purchased tickets or Day pass captain will sell the ride tickets on board. Convenient.

I’d been wanting to ride the Aquabus ever since I knew we were going to Vancouver :) Who doesn’t want to ride on a rainbow color mini yacht ;) Ok, it’s a mini ferry but it’s so cute and a tons of fun.
My boyfriend and I cabbed to Granville Public Market and after we’d explored all that we wanted to, we decided where we’d take the Aquabus to — we chose Yaletown — which gave us a couple of stops to be on the water, take in the views and snap some pics and a little video.
Such a fun way to get to/from Granville Island — more exciting than a taxi and comparable in price.

During our recent trip to Vancouver, we decided to leave the car parked where we stayed in the west end. This meant that if we needed to get across False Creek we’d have two nautical options. Our friend recommended Aquabus over False Creek Ferries, and I have to agree its the superior choice. Everyone on the Aquabuses was friendly and accommodating. They’d adjust their route as needed, and come back to a dock they just left if someone else walked up.
I’m sure the competition is perfectly adequate, but they seemed much more structured and resembled an actual ferry setup. Aquabus is more like your friend or uncle who has a crazy little rainbow colored boat and will take you where you need to go. The Aquabus beat the False Creek Ferry to a couple stops, not by going faster but by a more direct route. They seem to know the waters a bit better.
Quick tip — If you’re doing more than a trip or two, get the day pass.

We took an aquabus to Granville Island from the closest stop. The boats seem to be coming pretty constantly, so you are not waiting for long. The trip was literally probably two minutes but it was still fun. On the way back, we decided to take it a little further to one of the Yaletown stops and then go to dinner, so we got more of the experience of False Creek. I would recommend riding it a little further to get a unique view of the city while riding a cute little boat!
The only con was it was a little pricey for the length of ride, but I get it. Also, I found the ticketing system/map a little hard to understand but then again I was a tourist :)

These cute little boats offer a convenient –and fun– way to get around the False Creek area in Vancouver, including Granville Island.
You’ll see lots of these boats and similar watercraft operated by competing companies puttering about on the sheltered waterway known as False Creek (South side of downtown). Fares are $ 3.25 — $ 5.50 each way, depending on your destination. Departures are about every 15 minutes, and the boats run until about 9pm.
So much more fun than driving around, plus you don’t have to worry about parking!

Being a tourist in Vancouver I didn’t really know the different ferry options. All I know is that I was at the east end of False Creek and wanted to hitch a lift to Granville. There were postings about the ferry and aquabus at the dock but it was difficult to tell what was actually running. When the cute little aquabus pulled up I couldn’t contain myself. It looks like a bathtub boat. It only holds like 10 people, is brightly colored and just put puts around the creek. How fun!
For $ 5.50 they took us to Granville with just one stop along the way. The view isn’t that great because it’s small and mostly enclosed. I mean it’s good enough to look out at things but not great for photos. We passed lots of other differently colored aqua buses along the way — and even one for bikes, strollers and wheelchairs!

What darling little boats! The pilots we had were all pleasant, and even helped us to locate and be reunited with a bag of forgotten cherries! Super fun way to see Vancouver.

In a perfect world I would live and work on opposite sides of False Creek so that I could ride the Aquabus every. single. day.
Perfect way to enjoy your city and show it off to out of towners. Lovely views, super cheap ride, and you get to ride on a rainbow boat. You can even bring your bike on certain boats. Boom. Take a tour all around the water, or just use it to get from a to b.
Man these little boats make me so happy. I even smile like a goon when they chug by me on the seawall.

It’s a cool boating experience. How many people out there in North America tried sitting inside a public bus type boat the size of a large personal recreational fishing boat? Not too many.
The Aquabus is must try for Vancouverites and tourists if they want to see the coastline of Vancouver on a cute lil’ boat.
