Getting to the Southern Gulf Islands

The Southern Gulf Islands are accessible via ferry with BC Ferries. Some of the islands require multiple connections, and the ferries are very busy during the summer months, so travellers are encouraged to plan ahead and book in advance, where possible.

By air, Salt Spring Island is accessible via Harbour Air Seaplanes.

Boaters can access the Southern Gulf Islands via the Salish Sea. For more information about marinas and harbours, visit AhoyBC.com.
