Escape to an island ...

Saltspring is the largest island of an archipelago known as the Gulf Islands, nestled between Vancouver Island and British Columbia's mainland. Saltspring is an island retreat yet it is easily accessible due to its proximity to Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. Whether you are travelling by car, bus, or as a foot passenger, the ferry trip will treat you to spectacular scenery. If you wish to fly, Saltspring can be reached by scheduled float planes or by charter flights. Car rentals are available on the island.
