To Access Salt Spring and The Southern Gulf Islands

There are a few water taxi services which cater to Salt Spring Island and the other Southern Gulf Islands.

Which you choose will depend on where you're coming from and where you're going.

Here are details on a handful of services which offer passenger transport to Salt Spring...
