Best Prince Edward Island Tours & Trips

French explorer Jacques Cartier called this Canadian island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence "the fairest land that may possibly be seen" during his 1534 expedition. Prince Edward Island was settled by the French centuries later in the 1720s and is noted as the "Birthplace of Confederation" because its capital city Charlottetown hosted the first of many meetings in 1864 on the Canadian Confederation making the country its own nation in 1867. In addition to many historic sites related to the Confederation, the island offers immaculate beaches, vast golf courses and a vibrant arts and culture scene.

Prince Edward Island Travel Guide

Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province, packs an outsized charm with its red sand beaches, rolling farmland, and literary heritage as the setting for Anne of Green Gables. A trip to Prince Edward Island offers a quintessential Maritime experience—fresh seafood, friendly locals, and scenic drives along the Northumberland Strait.

The Best Time to Visit Prince Edward Island

The best time to visit Prince Edward Island (PEI) is summer (June to September) when the islands beaches, coastal scenery, seafood, and outdoor activities are at their best.

Summer (June to August) is peak season on PEI, with warm temperatures of 70-80°F (21-27°C) and long daylight hours. This is the best time for beach activities, outdoor festivals, and exploring Anne of Green Gables sites. All tourist attractions, restaurants, and accommodations operate at full capacity. Book well in advance, especially for July and August.

Fall (September to October) brings cooler temperatures of 50-65°F (10-18°C) and spectacular foliage as maple trees turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. Crowds thin after Labor Day, and hotel rates drop. This is an excellent time for photography, hiking, and enjoying the harvest season with local food festivals.

Spring (May to early June) sees temperatures warming from 45-60°F (7-16°C), though the ocean remains cold. Some attractions and restaurants don't open until late May or early June. This is a quiet time to visit with lower prices, but be prepared for variable weather and limited services early in the season.

Winter (November to April) is cold with temperatures often below freezing and significant snowfall. Most tourist facilities close, though the island offers a peaceful, local experience. Winter activities include cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, but this is not the typical time for Prince Edward Island tours.

How to Get to Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island is accessible by air, ferry, or the iconic Confederation Bridge.

By Air: Charlottetown Airport (YYG) serves the island with flights from Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and seasonal destinations. Flights are limited compared to major cities, so book in advance and consider connecting through Halifax or Montreal for better options.

By Car via Confederation Bridge: The 8-mile (13 km) Confederation Bridge connects PEI to New Brunswick and is the most popular way to reach the island. The drive from Montreal takes about 10 hours, while Halifax is about 4.5 hours away. A toll applies when leaving the island.

By Ferry: Marine Atlantic operates a ferry from Caribou, Nova Scotia to Wood Islands, PEI. The 90-minute crossing is scenic but takes longer than driving across the bridge. This option is popular with RV travelers and those coming from eastern Nova Scotia.

 

How Many Days Do You Need in Prince Edward Island?

For a comprehensive Prince Edward Island experience, plan for 4-5 days. This allows time to explore Charlottetown, visit Anne of Green Gables sites in Cavendish, drive the scenic coastal routes, and enjoy the beaches. You'll have time to sample local seafood, visit lighthouses, and experience the island's relaxed pace.

If you're short on time, 2-3 days covers the main highlights: Charlottetown, Green Gables, and one or two coastal areas. However, you'll need to prioritize and may miss some of the island's quieter charms.

Extended stays of a week or more allow you to explore at a leisurely pace, return to favorite spots, and discover hidden gems like small fishing villages and secluded beaches.

 

Top Prince Edward Island Attractions

Green Gables Heritage PlaceThe iconic setting for Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables novels, this site includes the actual house that inspired the story, walking trails, and exhibits about the author and her famous character. Located in Cavendish, about 30 minutes from Charlottetown. The surrounding area features the Haunted Wood trail and Campbell's Pond, both mentioned in the books.

Charlottetown: The capital city and birthplace of Canadian Confederation. Visit Province House, where the Charlottetown Conference was held in 1864. The historic downtown features Victorian architecture, boutique shops, and restaurants. The waterfront area offers walking paths and views of the harbor.

Cavendish Beach: One of PEI's most famous beaches, known for its red sand and warm waters (relatively speaking for Canada). The beach is part of Prince Edward Island National Park and offers lifeguards in summer. Nearby Cavendish has amusement parks, mini-golf, and Anne of Green Gables attractions.

PEI National Park: Stretching along the north shore, this park features red sand cliffs, beaches, hiking trails, and the Green Gables area. The park protects coastal ecosystems and offers camping, swimming, and wildlife viewing. The dunes and beaches are particularly beautiful at sunset.

Victoria-by-the-Sea: A picturesque fishing village on the island's eastern end. The colorful Victorian homes, working fishing harbor, and artisan shops make it a perfect stop for photography and lunch. The ferry to nearby Hog Island (now called Garden of the Gulf) departs from here.

Point Prim Lighthouse: The oldest lighthouse on PEI, built in 1845. The red sandstone tower marks the entrance to Charlottetown Harbor. The surrounding area offers walking trails and beach access. It's a peaceful spot with historical significance.

Travel Tips for Prince Edward Island

Accommodation Booking: PEI has limited hotel inventory compared to major destinations. Book accommodations 3-6 months in advance for summer visits, especially July and August. Consider vacation rentals, B&Bs, or cottages for longer stays.

Dining Reservations: Popular restaurants, especially seafood establishments, fill up quickly in peak season. Make dinner reservations in advance, particularly on weekends.

Weather Preparedness: Even in summer, evenings can be cool near the water. Bring layers and a light jacket. The island is also windy, so secure hats and be prepared for changing conditions.

Tidal Awareness: PEI's beaches experience significant tidal changes. Check tide tables before visiting beaches, as water levels can change dramatically throughout the day. Some beaches have large exposed areas at low tide.

Local Culture: Islanders are known for their friendliness. Take time to chat with locals at farmers' markets, fishing wharves, and small-town shops. They're often the best source for hidden gem recommendations.

Driving Distances: While the island is small, rural roads can be winding and slow. Allow more driving time than maps suggest, and enjoy the scenic routes rather than rushing between attractions.
