The Galiano Museum Society is located on beautiful Galiano Island, a short ferry ride away from mainland British Columbia or Vancouver Island. Most visitors arrive via BC Ferries, with sailings available from Tsawwassen (Vancouver) or Swartz Bay (Victoria) to Sturdies Bay on Galiano Island. Once you arrive at Sturdies Bay, the museum is just a short drive, bike ride, or walk away depending on your plans for the day. We recommend checking current ferry schedules and making reservations, especially during summer and holiday weekends.

Plan your ferry trip at: BC Ferries

Galiano Island is accessible year-round by ferry, with sailings operated by BC Ferries from Tsawwassen (Vancouver) and Swartz Bay (Victoria) to Sturdies Bay. The ferries are wheelchair accessible and offer priority boarding for passengers with mobility needs.

Once on Galiano, the Galiano Museum is located a short distance from the ferry terminal. Visitors can reach the museum by vehicle, cycling, on foot, or via the local community bus—see Galiano Bus for the current schedule. If you are travelling by foot, please note that the route from the ferry to the museum includes inclines and limited sidewalks.

We recommend confirming accessibility needs with BC Ferries before departure and contacting local transportation providers in advance to ensure a smooth visit.
