By Ferry:
Start your adventure from the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. Take a BC Ferries sailing to Long Harbour on Salt Spring Island. A direct ferry ride itself is about 1 hour and 30 minutes, However, many sailings stop at other Gulf Islands along the way, which can extend the trip to about 3 hours. The ferry offers scenic views of the surrounding islands along the way.
Pro tip: Some sailings are direct, while others stop at other Gulf Islands first, so check the schedule in advance for the best option.
By Seaplane:
For a quicker, breathtaking alternative, take a seaplane from Vancouver Harbour or YVR Airport’s South Terminal. Harbour Air and Seair Seaplanes offer flights directly to Salt Spring Island’s Ganges Harbour. In just 30 minutes, you’ll be soaring over the stunning coastal waters and arriving right in the heart of Salt Spring.
Pro tip: Flights are often weather dependent, so check conditions ahead of time.
- From Victoria
  Drive or bus to Swartz Bay Terminal, about 30 minutes from Victoria, then hop on the BC Ferry to Fulford Harbour on Salt Spring Island. The ferry takes around 35 minutes, with regular sailings throughout the day. The terminal on Salt Spring is about 20 minutes from Ganges, the island’s main village.
  Pro tip: Reservations aren't available on this route, so plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before departure during busy times.
- From Crofton (Near Nanaimo)
  Head to Crofton Ferry Terminal, about 1 hour from Nanaimo, and board the ferry to Vesuvius Bay on Salt Spring. The crossing is a short 25 minutes, and Vesuvius Bay is just a 10-minute drive to Ganges.
  Pro tip: The Crofton-Vesuvius route is quick and offers the most frequent sailings, making it a great option if you’re coming from mid or northern Vancouver Island.
