Introduction
Salt Spring Island travel is also noted for whale and bird watching. The highly populated island is popular for its art and music scenes with Ganges worth a visit for its craft market.
The distinctly English Hastings House will see you feast like a king. The lamb is a must try on the menu and you can wash it all down with a local wine. A visit to Salt Spring Winery combines live music on Friday and Sunday afternoons with picnic areas for a spot of lunch. Don't forget to take a glance at your change as Salt Spring Island has its very own currency.
The climate differs from the main island with more sunshine and less rain, therefore there are exotic plants available for visitors to see. Hikers can also explore a range of rare species with trails available in the provincial parks.
The island is accessible from Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle. Whether catching the ferry or seaplane, the views are breathtaking.
