Option ‘A’ One hour stop in Ganges
About halfway through the breathtaking scenery of the Gulf Islands tour we will land and moor in the relaxed town of Ganges on Salt Spring Island. At your leisure, stroll through town to see the local artisans’ wares, or perhaps have some fresh oysters and a pint of island beer at the many restaurants right next to the water. The stop in Ganges is one hour in duration before we continue on with the rest of our Gulf Islands exploration.

Option ‘B’ Ninety minute stop to visit Saturna Island Winery
On the second half of our flight amongst the seemingly endless number of islands we will land at the private dock of Saturna Island Family Estate Winery for a ninety minute visit. The vineyard staff will meet us at the dock and drive you the short distance to the Winery’s bistro. There you will have the chance to peruse the menu and order your lunch before touring and tasting the Winery’s offerings. After lunch, a ten minute flight to Sidney concludes the trip.
