About Canada

Canada is the second largest country in the world by total area, bordering the United States to the south. Not only is Canada blessed with one of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the world, it brings a diverse culture and a variety of vibrant cities to the table as well. It’s a haven for any kind of traveller; you can spot orcas along the west coast, ski down Whistler Mountain, explore Colonial landmarks or sample some exquisite French cuisine in a buzzing metropolis. With the British Columbian shoreline stretching over 25,000 km and the islands of Graham and Victoria found just off the coast, there are plenty of ferry departure points to choose from. There are numerous routes available too, both international and domestic, all operated by top quality ferry companies.

About Salt Spring Island

Salt Spring Island is located between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, Canada, within the Gulf Islands. The island has long been synonymous with peace and tranquillity: it was used as a refuge by racially abused African Americans in the nineteenth century, a political refuge during the sixties and, today, offers a relaxing retreat from modern city life with its naturally beautiful landscape. The pine-clad hills stretch for miles, ascending to the highest points of the entire Southern Gulf Islands, providing excellent hiking trails along the way. And, once nicknamed ‘the coolest island in Canada’, Salt Spring is commonly flocked by artists, retired millionaires and musicians, with a total permanent population of just ten thousand. With ferry terminals in Fulford Harbour and Long Harbour, sailing to Salt Spring Island is quick and easy. Whether you’re coming from mainland Canada or Vancouver Island, there are frequent crossings to choose from, operated by one of the leading ferry companies in British Columbia.
