About the Granville Island Aquabus Ferry Dock – David Lam Park crossing
The Aquabus runs this crossing every fifteen minutes or less, from 07:00 to 23:00, seven days a week. Our listing currently holds the 07:00 departure — the first of the day rather than the only one — so treat the times shown here as a starting point and the operator’s own frequency as the practical guide.
Four-tenths of a mile
The passage across False Creek takes about 5 minutes. At that distance the boat is competing with a walk round the head of the inlet, and it wins comfortably on time as well as on view.
Turn up rather than plan
On a service this frequent a timetable is close to irrelevant. Exact hours vary a little by dock, so if you are travelling at the very start or end of the day it is worth checking the specific landing rather than the route.
A long-dated plan
The schedule on file runs well beyond the usual horizon for a ferry timetable, which is a sign that this service is treated as a fixed feature of the network rather than a seasonal arrangement.
