About
A "must do" experience for anyone visiting Salt Spring Island!
Our signature "Artisan Trail " Hop on Hop off tour is a spectacularly scenic 28km loop trail, with epic stops at an award winning Cheesery & Goat farm, a spring fed Craft Brewery surrounded by forest, a beautiful estate Winery, an organic craft Cider & Apple farm and even a hidden-gem mountain side Lavender farm!
Along the trail expect to discover delicious locally made food offerings such as charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, pastries, ice cream and home baked sweets.
Our Hop on Hop off experiences are designed to let you create your own Artisan adventure, at your own pace!
Ample time is given at each stop and with only 20 seats per shuttle departure, you won't feel rushed exploring all that the Artisan Trail has to offer.
The best part is that with having all the benefits of a traditional Hop On Hop Off, you are in control to choose to stop at all artisans on the trail, or just the ones that interest you!

- Getaway190213259360 contributionsA 'Must Do' on Salt Spring IslandLucky enough to book this trip with Elton and had a wonderful day visiting a variety of attractions on Salt Spring Island. Without this trip would not have seen such beautiful parts of the island and visited a variety of different venues. To explore Salt Spring Island with a knowledgeable guide, first consider this experience; you won't regret it.Written 21 March 2024
- grahamtP2276RF0 contributionsHighly enjoyable day out and an easy way to see parts of Salt Spring Island and sample local products, without a car.On Saturday, I joined other CAMRA members for a trial run of a new service coming to Salt Spring Island starting May 2023; Salt Spring Hop On Hop Off Tours. This hop-on hop-off service circles the southern end of the island with stops in town center, Salt Spring Island Cheese, Salt Spring Brewing, Salt Spring Vineyards & Winery, Ciderworks at Salt Spring Apple Company and Salt Spring Shine Craft Distillery Ltd. This is great way to visit these 5 places while leaving your car at home so you can better see the sights and sample the delights. Below is shown 3 of the locations we visited that will be stops for the new service.Written 17 March 2024
- barsegh0 contributionsEasiest way to see the best of Salt Springs IslandEasy way to do all the drinking stops without having to worry about driving. One hour gives you ample time to enjoy each stop or if you start early in the day, you can take longer. Elton was friendly, entertaining and always on time.Written 11 March 2024
- Kirsten G0 contributionsGet on board!Truly recommend this tour! Elton is the perfect host and guide - friendly and fun :D Just one tip - if you walk the Burgoyne Bay take a 2 hour stop to properly enjoy it…Written 7 March 2024
- dennyb330 contributionsPleasantly perfect Summertime trip with the family!Sir Elton was accommodating and so pleasant to travel with. He gave us a lot of great ideas to fill our day and safely brought us between exciting venues. We traveled with 5 kids and he had all the colouring books, crayons, stickers and candy at the ready. Thank you for a fantastic and full day! We hope to visit again!Written 6 March 2024
- abif5830 contributionsFun times for all!Such a great way to see everything around Salt Spring. Amazing view along with amazing food and drink with friends. As someone who has never been to Salt Spring, I got to see quite a few places, try great beers and ciders, and have an over all excellent time. Even my friends that aren’t big fans of beer really enjoyed! Will definitely be recommending more friends and family to this tour!Written 2 March 2024
- X861MNjenniferd0 contributionsThe Best Way to Tour Salt Spring!An amazing way to get around the island and visit some of the amazing artisan shops! Cheese, wine, beer, and cider - there’s something for everyone! Our driver was super knowledgeable and gave us some great advice on where to go for lunch as well. We’ve been on two tours already, one with some typical rainy west coast weather and one with beautiful sunshine. Both were absolutely fabulous!!! As a local on Vancouver island I LOVE being able to visit salt spring and tour the best places without having to drive. I definitely recommend this for locals and tourists! It’s great so everyone can enjoy drinks at all the locations as well. A safe way to tour around. The tours are also family friendly as well! Which is fabulous for the whole family to have a relaxing day touring the island.Written 15 February 2024

What a wonderful experience we had! We explored a cheese farm, a brewery, a winery and cider works that would have been difficult to get to since we came in on a sailboat with friends. And having Elton, one of the owners, drive us was great. He was very informative and friendly and really made the whole experience very memorable. It’s a must of you have an afternoon to spend!

This service is fantastic. It's so great to be able to get driven around to several places that would otherwise be difficult to get to as a visitor. The driver is a great guy and he made our day extra special.

Thank you for the fantastic review Renske! We have really tried hard to make visiting some of our awesome "off the beaten path" artisans as easy and relaxing as possible! Glad to hear your driver made the experience special! Look forward to having you back on tour in the near future.
