Guest article: by Beth Dunlop Overdue for a girl-getaway, in early July our group of four besties spent a weekend on Salt Spring Island — two of us travelling from Vancouver, one from North Vancouver Island, and one from central island (that’s Beth - me!). Salt Spring was the perfect “middle ground” for our get together, and the logistics were made simple with a little bit of planning! Two different ferries, one hotel room, a picnic dinner on the patio, a morning at the infamous Saturday Market - and the full Saturday afternoon on the Artisan Trail was the icing on the cake! Here's exactly how our trip went, in case you're planning your own.

Salt Spring Island's many accommodations, amenities, and vineyard, farm and forest-side settings are the recipe for a stunning and memorable wedding — but the island's narrow, winding roads and limited venue parking can make transportation difficult to plan. In response to this, Salt Spring Hop On offers dedicated wedding shuttle and charter services , built around your ceremony timeline, so your guests arrive relaxed instead of circling for parking.
