Aqua Bus Ferry in False

| This cute little water taxi is more like a large child's
bathtub toy. They have a large multi-colored fleet and are hard to miss as they
travel around the river. The boat sits low in the water and provides great
visibility along the waterway. Each boat has two open doorways and windows
around the entire boat so you'll have a front row view of everything.
The boat travels slowly from dock to dock and makes for a great picture-taking
experience.

You can take it from Vancouver to Granville Island and from Granville Island
to Yaletown, the Granville Island Market is just down the street from the
drop-off point. If you are staying downtown in Vancouver at a Hotel it is the
perfect transport to see a few of the Cities most popular attractions.
Along the way you'll see a variety of great restaurants, one-of-a-kind house
boats, kayaks, ducks, geese, an occasional seal, amazing apartments, cool funky
boats, and stuff you just can't see from land.
It's a great way to relax on the water and check out the overall scene and
decide what you want to check out the next day.
This is the best way to see another side of Vancouver and is one of my favorite
activities.

For most people this is a cute way to get across the water.
Last week, in some heavy rain, without an umbrella, it was like my guardian
angel coming to pick me up. My only trepidation came from standing on the dock
in Yaletown, hoping that it was coming. However, my wait was less than 2
minutes.
Mission was get to Granville Island, it was accomplished with a fast and
pleasant ride. Awesome!How could you possibly give something so convenient and so cute anything less
than five stars?
These little rainbow coloured boats are perfect for travelling to and from
downtown to Granville Island. Plus, having been a local, a $3 ride on the wee
tugs were well worth not having to not have to find parking on the island. |
