Unless traveling by private boat, most people arrive on Salt Spring Island by
ferry or seaplane. There are three ferry terminals on Salt Spring Island: Long Harbour,
Fulford Harbour, and Vesuvius. If you are coming from the Vancouver area, you will
depart from the Tsawwassen ferry terminal to arrive in Long Harbour. Depending
on the ferry you take, the trip will be about 90 minutes on a non-stop cruise,
or longer if the ferry stops at other islands. In any case, the trip is
beautiful, and you may be lucky enough to spot Orca whales, harbour seals, or
sea otters along the way. From the Victoria area, you will depart from Swartz
Bay, taking a 35 minute trip to Fulford. If arriving from Nanaimo or other more
northern Vancouver Island areas, you will depart from the Crofton terminal,
arriving in Vesuvius on Salt Spring after a 20 minute ride. Note that the
ferries can be extremely busy from June to September, and especially on long
weekends. Reservations are a must both arriving and leaving! Check our BC Ferries links below for schedules. In Canada you can call toll free
1-888-223-3779 to reserve.
