What if I don’t drink or don’t want to do some of the fitness activities?
This trip is for you! All of the activities are completely optional and if you just want to chill and read a book, or book a massage at a nearby spa, that is awesome!

What wineries/cideries will we visit?
Salt Spring Wild Cider, and Garry Oaks, Kutatas, and Vivezza wineries are all options.
Will there be free time?
Yes, the afternoon of September 19th has been allocated for free time, so you can chill, go to the spa for a massage and/or forest hydrotherapy circuit (added cost), go for a hike, play Pickleball, get your Tarot cards read, check out a brewery/cidery/winery, or whatever else you’re feeling!
What do I bring?
A very rough packing list will be sent closer to the event.
Tell me more about the spa!
Solace Organic Spa is reserved for up to 6 people for a Spa Party on the afternoon of September 19th. Participants can have a massage and/or do the Forest Hydrotherapy Circuit. The cost is $240/person plus 20% tax (tip not included) for a package which includes a 60 minute massage and 60-90 minute circuit. Please reach out to Shana ASAP if you want to book this because we will have to release the booking if we can not fill it.
How do I get to Salt Spring?
You can ferry from:
1) Tsawwassen to Long Harbour on SS (a 3-hour ferry at 10:25 AM or 7:30 PM on September 17, returning at 6:15 AM (3 hrs.), 3:30 PM (2 hrs.), or 6:55 PM (1h 55) on September 20)
2) Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay in Victoria, then Swartz Bay to Fulford on Salt Spring – more frequent ferries, and about 3 hours total travel time from Tsawwassen to Salt Spring. This is a really good option if you want to travel at certain times – Shana goes this way to SS often!
Float Plane:
With Harbour Air or Sea Air, from Richmond (YVR South) or downtown Vancouver. So much faster!
The flights land in Ganges Harbour which is a short walk (10ish minutes) to the hotel. We can also arrange for someone to pick you up from Ganges.
Coming from further than Vancouver?
Check flights to YVR vs Victoria.
– If you fly to YVR, you will have to get to Salt Spring via float plane from Richmond South (a short Uber ride from the main YVR terminal) or catch a ride with someone to the ferry.
– If you fly to Victoria, you can uber to the Swartz Bay ferry (10 minute drive), then walk on the ferry and someone can pick you up in Fulford Harbour on Salt Spring.
