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.

This morning, we fit your bikes and head to Lennox Island for a memorable cultural experience. Enjoy traditionally made bannock and clams cooked in the sand while local Mi’kmaq knowledge keepers share stories of life, culture and community on the island. We cycle through western Prince Edward Island to Tyne Valley and Green Park Provincial Park, home to the historic and reputedly haunted Yeo House. An afternoon transfer brings you to Cavendish, where you can have dinner at your leisure (not included) in Avonlea Village offers a taste of the world that inspired Anne of Green Gables and the island’s enduring storybook charm.

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.
