Arrive at your centrally located accommodation in the heart of Charlottetown, where your journey begins. At the time noted in your final documents, you will join your guide and fellow travellers for a relaxed trip briefing and a chance to settle into island time. Known as ‘the birthplace of Confederation,’ Charlottetown hosted the 1864 Charlottetown Conference, which led to modern Canada’s founding. Today, Canada’s smallest provincial capital is home to a vibrant cultural scene and exquisite culinary options. If your schedule allows, consider arriving a little earlier or lingering a little longer to explore the city more fully. Take time to visit its museums and galleries, wander leafy parks, browse local shops, or join an optional day tour to explore more of the island’s coastal landscapes and communities.

After breakfast, we’ll collect your bike and make any necessary adjustments before a short drive to Victoria-by-the-Sea. From this charming seaside village, we cycle along a scenic coastal road to the base of the spectacular Confederation Bridge. Spanning 12.9 km (8.02 mi) in a sweeping curve, it links the island to mainland Canada and stands as one of the country’s most impressive engineering feats. In the afternoon, our bike ride continue to Emerald Junction, where you will be met and transferred to Cavendish. This evening, step into the world of Green Gables with dinner in Avonlea Village, where the island’s storybook charm comes to life.

This morning, we hop on our bicycles and ride to Cavendish, birthplace of author Lucy Maud Montgomery and home of her beloved Anne of Green Gables. Here, we visit Green Gables Heritage Place, explore Montgomery Park, and see the site of L.M. Montgomery’s former Cavendish home before continuing along the scenic Gulf Shore Way. Following stretches of sand dunes and coastal shoreline, we make our way to Rustico to tour the historic Farmers' Bank of Rustico, a symbol of Acadian resilience, and Doucet House, the oldest building on the island. We then continue on to Dalvay-by-the-Sea, featured in Road to Avonlea and other Anne of Green Gables productions. This National Historic Site, set within Prince Edward Island National Park on the island’s north shore, centres around the striking Victorian hotel, Dalvay-by-the-Sea. Over the years, the property has welcomed notable guests, including Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales during their Canadian tour.

From Dalvay-by-the-Sea, we follow a direct route along quiet, shouldered country and residential roads before joining the Confederation Trail at Tracadie. The remainder of the day unfolds along one of the trail’s most picturesque sections, tracing the Hillsborough River and surrounding wetlands through a designated provincial wildlife management area. Keeping our eyes open for bald eagles and other birdlife, we cycle past forests and ponds en route to the village of Morell. From here, the trail hugs the edge of St. Peter’s Bay on our way to our inn for the night, crossing old steel trestles over three river mouths along the way.

Today’s program blends cycling, hiking, exploration, and time to relax by the sea. We begin with a scenic backroad ride, then continue north along the edge of St. Peter’s Bay to the stunning Greenwich Dunes, where we leave our bikes behind and explore on foot. The Greenwich Dunes trail system offers a mostly flat, picturesque walk of approximately 4.5km (2.8mi). To help protect the area’s delicate flora and fauna, we remain on the designated trails. The beach lies just a short distance from the trailhead, offering a lovely spot to unwind and enjoy the waves as they lap against our toes.

Meals:  B

Leaving PEI’s beautiful north shore, we cycle east along the Confederation Trail through apple trees, blackberry bushes, open green fields, and scenic stretches of wetland. We pass Harmony Junction and continue to Elmira Railway Station, the easternmost point of the Confederation Trail. From here, we turn toward the quiet fishing community of North Lake, where we may choose to savour a local seafood dinner. Our accommodations await near the beach, inviting us to unwind in the fresh, salty seaside air before settling in for the evening.

Today marks our final ride. After breakfast, we regroup and cycle toward Basin Head Provincial Park. This pure white sand beach is geologically unique and known as the “Singing Sands,” as it gently “sings” beneath our feet when stepped on. We enjoy time to explore the beach and savour a picnic lunch before boarding the shuttle for our return to Charlottetown, where our island cycling journey comes full circle.

After breakfast, our tour concludes in Charlottetown. For those wishing to extend their stay, additional nights and optional touring can be arranged in advance, allowing more time to explore the city’s museums and galleries, enjoy excellent local dining, and discover Prince Edward Island at your own pace.
