FROM NANAIMO
By car and ferry
From the city limits of Nanaimo you will need to travel South on Highway 1 for approximately 25 minutes. Watch for a sign to the Crofton Ferry Terminal on your left. You will see a farmers market on the right hand side of the road opposite the left turn off the highway. Continue to follow the signs to the Crofton Ferry. This drive will take about 25 minutes. The ferry travels back and forth from Crofton to Vesuvius on Salt Spring Island. The sailing time is approximately 20 minutes.
You cannot make a reservation on this ferry--—it operates on a first come first served basis.
Once you arrive at Vesuvius on Salt Spring Island you will be on the west side of the island. You will drive off the ferry onto Vesuvius Bay Road and continue along this road until you reach a stop sign with a large playing field on your right. Turn right onto Lower Ganges Road and drive until you see Ganges Harbour ahead of you. At the head of the harbour, turn left onto Upper Ganges Road. Hastings House is on your right about a block just past Salt Spring Marina and Moby’s Pub.
Hastings House is happy to provide complimentary shuttle service from any of the three ferry terminals located on the island. Please provide the office with your arrival time and we will meet you on the dock.
