A must for any traveler to Vancouver. this Fun litttle boat ride tours you around false creek and yaletown. Visits Granville Island to check out the market and restaurants.
Aquabus has a fleet of little boats plying Vancouver's False Creek. It stops at a number of places along False Creek, and is used by commuters and tourists alike. For tourists it is a very cheap harbour tour.At the north end of Burrard Street there is a seabus, that takes you to North Van. Another great little boat tour. Do these on a sunny day!
When you go to Granville island, take the Aqua bus across to English Bay or the Science world, walk the beautiful seawall, see Vancouver from a different angle.
Sure, it is worth doing...particularly if you want to get across False Creek efficiently, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do it. It's a water taxi...that's it. I guess if you aren't used to such things it feels fun. It's inexpensive. I just think of it as transportation though. You can buy tickets onboard. your round trip ticket is a better deal. If you are travelling with a few people you might want to get a string of 10 or 20 tickets cheaper.
Differnt then bus fair have to pay twice for this and local transit don't know why they don't make it all the same fun easy way to cross small harbour areas can walk around also other ways of getting there but convient depending on what and where your going
Taking an Aquabus taxi gets you from one place to another like any other taxi. But it's so much more fun than a regular taxi! It wobbles as you get on and off, and you get water and city views that are unbeatable. Try it at night after the city lights up; the lights reflect onto the water, the Science World dome changes color, and the stadium looms neon pink in the distance. You get all, and you get where you need to go. It's a fun thing to do just for itself.
The Aquabuses arrived promptly and the operators were very pleasant and efficient. I used the Aquabus system several times during my trip and enjoyed the ride each time.
Loved the Aquabus! Easy to find, super quick, decent rate, friendly drivers. We used the Hornby to Granville Island route and it couldn't have been easier. Purchasing a return ticket saves you a little money too.
We took the Aquabus from Granville Island over to the Bard on the Beach on a lovely summer day. The Aquabus is a lot of fun, especially if you have a kid or two along. Sure to make a memory, and the rainbow vessels are very photogenic.Recommended.
A great way to get to certain parts of the city. We like to go downtown then take the Aquabus to go to Granville Island, way easier that trying to find a parking spot there.
