Highlights
Step away from the busy tourist routes and discover the quieter side of Prince Edward Island on this scenic private tour along the southeastern coast. Travel peaceful country roads and coastal shorelines shaped by farming, fishing, and strong Scottish traditions. Visit Point Prim Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse on PEI, standing since 1845 with sweeping views over the Northumberland Strait. Explore the Belfast area, settled by Scottish immigrants, with a stop at St. John's Presbyterian Church. Travel scenic backroads such as Jack's Heritage Road, where red cliffs, rolling farmland, and quiet coastal views showcase a side of Prince Edward Island that many visitors never see. Along the way, our local guides share the stories, history, and traditions that bring these communities and landscapes to life. Some images courtesy of Tourism PEI.

About Charlottetown
Charlottetown, capital of Prince Edward Island, is a small harbour city of low brick streets where the talks behind Canadian Confederation began in 1864.
Charlottetown sits on the south shore of Prince Edward Island, on a harbour fed by three rivers. In 1864 delegates met in Province House, a sandstone building that is still the seat of the provincial legislature, to discuss uniting the colonies of British North America. The Confederation Centre of the Arts stands nearby, the spires of St Dunstan's Basilica rise over the streets, and Victoria Row keeps its brick storefronts, now cafés and restaurants.
