We really enjoyed our tour and learned a lot. Max was great.
This tour was well worth it; the guide is awesome. He is so knowledgeable. Take the tour!
We had a brilliant time on the False Creek tour, our guide, Tee, was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We have travelled on the ferries many times crossing False Creek but the tour was on another level, it was brilliant and very informative. I would definitely recommend the tour.
If any attraction or tour could be less colorless and more perfunctory it would be hard to imagine. Driver/guide, college age, never said a word, never pointe out anything, never even said how long the ferries had been in operation or why they were started or ...? Even have a prerecorded tape since the route is the same every time or give passengers a printed map or highlight so we can do it ourselves. Complete waste of time and money.
We had family visiting and my uncle has challenging walking for any distance. This was a lovely way for us to get a view of the many neighbourhoods around the harbour. Matthew was able to share information about the unique areas. The loading area was close to accessible parking which was an added bonus.
Nice relaxing trip around the island with a lot of great information told to us by the captain. Great experience for the low price
We had a great tour along Falls Creek ferries today. The guide was very knowledgeable and seasoned in the area and made the tour very interesting.
Went on the narrated tour of the Vancouver harbour with Captain Rusty who created the tour. His knowledge and passion for the subject was very engaging and highly informative. The tour lasted about an hour and was excellent value for money. If you are in Vancouver you should do this tour. Captain Rusty finished the tour with a great restaurant recommendation in Gastown which we thoroughly enjoyed. A great start to our holiday.
The tour was fun and full of Vancouver history, Frank was the goat, would recommend to anyone that to see Vancouver from the water and take in the skyline.
A fun way to show my guests from Florida parts of the city. The information the captain gave was excellent.
Very educational and informative. Relaxing and enjoyable. Guide was terrific. Highly recommend for the affordable, easy experience.
Great experience, Gavin was a great Guide and very informative
Our guide was fabulous and shared information about the sights we were seeing. The boat ride was relaxing and the views were amazing. Loved it.
We had a wonderful time. It was neat to see the area from the water. And the guides information was interesting.
We learned a lot about the history and current goings on! Our captain was a great guide. We highly recommend this tour.
We took some out of town guests and had a great time, Our guests loved it, the skipper was very knowledgeable , and would highly recommend this , it
My wife, our two sons, and I took the 1-hour electric boat tour at False Creek yesterday, and we enjoyed it very much. The electric boat was clean, comfortable, and incredibly quiet, which made for a very relaxing ride around Vancouver harbour. Our captain, Gavin, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and an excellent narrator who kept us all engaged with interesting facts and stories about the area. It was the perfect length of time for a family outing, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience on the water!
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was very informative, presented well and there was no rush. In fact, it overran by 15 minutes because of the enthusiasm and passion of the guide to make sure that all questions were answered and everyone had a positive experience. We would recommend this tour.
Very informative but totally relaxing at the same time. An hour is the perfect time. Up to 12 passengers only which is nice. Our captain who was also the guide was excellent!
All these views for 40 bucks! Perfect tour with a really cool tour guide. Even the staff at the deck were very accommodating. The guide was very chill and entertaining and gave awesome facts about the city, the area, and the spots we passed by. He would turn up the music too. I had such a good time. I was only with 6 other people. The perfect group size. Highly recommend getting this tour if you're visiting Vancouver. It was said to be a 25-minute tour but we took our time and it reached over an hour. I love how the guide didn't rush things and even went out of his way to show us special spots that he says other guides wouldn't usually show people. Even sailed farther out than all the other ferries on the creek and only stopped when the police patrol was nearing xD Our guide was enjoying himself too.
Great little boat tour around the harbour. Very relaxing and informative by the young driver
Great experience, patient captain who supported me with delays. Thank you! A simple phone call to the business to express my delay in traffic, and I was accommodated. Thank you again!
Three of us bought the 20minute round-trip ride to the Maritime Museum. We had a lovely time on the ferrie with Nick as our captain! He was engaging and shared some interesting information as we went along!! Just based on him, we highly recommend the trip! Aside, there was a weird incident where we bought tickets and sat down while we waited for the ferry(15min intervals) and a bunch of people jump on ahead of us. It left us unable to get on the first available ride as they can only carry 11people. We were pretty upset that the other folks just sat there, on the boat, unwilling to abide by the unspoken 'first here, first on' honor system. The hostess at the kiosk came over to reassure us and just provide a friendly presence. Her attitude was apologetic and we felt like we weren't just left to 'deal' with the "injustice" on our own. 10/10 recommend!!
We really enjoyed our ferry tour with Rusty!! He was super knowledgeable and friendly and tailored the experience to our group. It's always fun to learn from someone who loves what they do, which was really apparent in Rusty's tour! He even went out of his way to refund us when one of our group members got sick and couldn't make it (which was totally above and beyond)! Would highly recommend this to any group or family!
Had the most lovely chauffeured experience from Olympic Village to the Plaza. Thank you Matthew for the friendly chat and enjoyable 'commute' home. Hope to sail with you again soon!
Very pleasant rides. We missed our original tour due to plane delay but the operators allowed us to use a day pass so we were able to take two different boats in opposite directions. Very interesting scenery. Thoroughly enjoyed the rides.
very relaxing and enjoying Had a good grasp of False Creek and experience Les the tour guide was experienced and detailed in explaining it all
David was a great guide! It was just my husband and I on the tour, so we got to have a conversation and learn even more. Plus, we saw a whale!
We did the tour with Captain Frank. Fun, knowledgeable, relaxing. What a great way to spend the afternoon and see Vancouver via the water. The entire team was so helpful. Great staff! Thank you.
Fun ride. Interesting sights.
Relaxing tour, learned about the area. Les was our captain and he was very informative. Really enjoyed it!
The guide was very informative, friendly and welcoming!! It was a nice way to see a different angle of False Creek!
Great views of the city and Captain Rusty had a "boat load" of stories and information. Great time.
It’s a 1h ride on the creek showcasing West side and East side. Relaxing on a nice sunny day. Not recommended if windy / cold.
It was great to see Vancouver from the water. Our guide, Graham, was very knowledgeable and lots of interesting information to share with us.
Max was our tour guide, and what a pleasure the one hour trip was! Amazing views from the water, and Max was entertaining, knowledgeable, and explained the history and evolution of the area. Full recommendation!
Max was a great tour guide. I feel like I know alot more about Vancouver, he had very interesting information and knowledge. Very worth it, lots of fun.
We really enjoyed it and our guide Justin was fun and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the history and we saw seals 🦭
Great tour of the area. Nice to see the area from the water. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly.
I’m from Florida I have loved this place soooo much the captain and his co captains was phenomenal ♥️♥️ we love yall Canada!!🥹 see you soon again!!! Much love Jessica and Kozmas
For lovers of the little electric boats, a nice hour on the water with an intelligent, local guide for a quiet, comfortable cruise.
Really good way to see and appreciate Vancouver. A very friendly and knowledgeable captain kept us thoroughly informed and entertained during our FalseCreek Cruise :)
Even though it was rainy and I was the only passenger they still took me out and made me feel like it was no trouble. Amazing time to be on the water and learn about Vancouver!
This was a great way to spend time on the water and take in the Vancouver waterfront. Jeremy was very kind in calling to let us know about the fog and let us move to a different time (when the fog had abated some). Captain Ron was a skillful pilot and an engaging guide as we went from fog at the dock to bright sunshine along the skyline to back into the fog (featuring eerie wrecks from a previous storm) all in the span of a very nice hour.
Our wonderful guide will ensure you get even more out of the tour than you expected. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the rivers, harbors, and surrounding areas. There are many things to appreciate. You won't be disappointed, Charlie.
We had a great time on this tour! Our guide (Ron???) was very informative with a gentle sense of humour. It was an ideal tour to do on a rainy and coldish day - we were warm and dry on the sweet electric powered ferry. An hour of history about Vancouver and False Creek flew by. Thank you for such an enjoyable time!
Was a great trip! Our skipper was very personable and knowledgeable! Couldn’t have asked for a better trip for the family. Just long enough to hear great stories about the city but not to long where the kids lost interest.
Our captain was extremely knowledgeable and so kind! Would recommend this boat tour to anyone coming to visit beautiful Vancouver 🤩
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🫶🫶🫶
