It frequently seems to be the case that tourists are visiting Granville Island on foot and wish to catch a taxi to their next destination. If you're heading downtown then it's perhaps best to get on one of the mini-ferries near the market and take one of the many routes across False Creek. From the downtown core, you should see a taxi in just a few minutes.

But if you're looking to head elsewhere then the best thing to do is to walk a few blocks off of the island directly to the MacLure's Cabs depot. Simply walk stay underneath of the Granville Bridge and walk out the solo car entrance to the island. After you've cleared the island you will see the Pacific Culinary Institute on your right. Keep going a block more and you'll be at 2nd Avenue. Cross at the traffic light and walk up the curved street. There's an autobody shop on your right. A few steps further and you'll see the MacLure's office across the street on your left. Just go into the open door and tell the dispatcher that you need a taxi.

Their precise address is 1510 West 3rd Avenue.
