Amazing way to explore the unique spots of Salt Spring Island without a car! Our driver Scott was really kind and provided interesting facts about the island and its history. The hour long stay at every location is perfect timing but if you feel like staying longer it’s possible to catch the next pickup time an hour later. Will totally do again!

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...

Had a lovely time exploring Salt Spring! I especially enjoyed visiting the cidery and winery and both offered amazing local flavors in beautiful settings. The convenience of getting from point to point made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. A perfect island day trip! Will be coming back every Summer! :D

Such a great way to see a portion of the island while also enjoying some of the local hot spots. Scott our driver was very informative along the way telling us more about the island. Great for both solo and group trips, I highly recommend doing the tour and enjoying a relaxing trip on the island.

We had the best time doing the hop on hop off tour, it was a great way to see the island and all the lovely stops along the way! Scott was so bubbly and informative! Really recommend this tour if coming to the island and make sure to book in advance as it sells out! Thank you 😊😊

It's a great way to see some of Salt Spring's best attractions without needing a car, particularly since three of those attractions involve beer, wine, and cider - we were both able to fully indulge and appreciate it all to the fullest!
