tours

From winery tours and museum visits, to high-flying zipline rides and scenic lake cruises, there’s a Selkirk Loop tour that fits the bill for everyone! Our region is known for its diverse blend of the old and the new — learn about the storied histories of towns along the loop with a museum tour, or catch a ride along a railroad while hearing about the local legends. Take in a tasting tour at a local winery, or check out a guided cycling tour where seasoned locals are more than happy to take the lead. There’s definitely a tour (or three) that you’ll want to cross off your list!
