Starting a few steps from Science World, this popular waterfront trail alongside False Creek's southern shoreline is about 3km long and takes you all the way to Granville Island. You'll pass the giant Olympic Village , Habitat Island – a minisanctuary for passing birdlife – and the dockside Stamps Landing area before reaching the back entrance to the island (it's actually a peninsula).
Stay on Granville Island for lunch and, if you need to return to your point of origin, pick up a miniferry for a relaxing False Creek 'cruise' back to Science World. It's a cool way to enjoy the Vancouver skyline, framed by water and a mountain-fringed backdrop.
