Scenic Drive and Green Gables

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 45-minute drive through Charlottetown, the birthplace of Canada, en route to the picturesque countryside. Along the way, see rolling farmlands, stunning seascapes, tiny villages and bustling harbours, including a photo stop at Rustico Harbour. Next, visit Green Gables, the homestead featured prominently in Lucy Maud Montgomery's book, Anne of Green Gables. Here, you can explore the rooms in the house or take a stroll down 'Lovers' Lane'.

Prince Edward Island National Park

Your drive continues on to Prince Edward Island National Park. Upon arrival, marvel at stunning vistas of the white sandy beaches and sapphire blue water out to the red sandstone cliffs. From here, proceed to the Prince Edward Island Preserve Company. A local landmark, this 1913 butter factory is now a shop with a wonderful showcase of Island products, including their world-famous preserves.

Lobster Lunch

In the adjacent renowned restaurant, experience a traditional lunch (alternatives are available) featuring freshly-cooked lobster, potato salad and coleslaw, with raspberry pie for dessert.

After lunch, some free time is made available to browse the gift shop and take in the beautiful gardens before re-boarding your coach for the approximately 30-minute drive back to the pier.
