Green Gables House & Anne of Green Gables Island Experience

Step inside the farmhouse that inspired L.M. Montgomery's beloved novel at Green Gables Heritage Place, then journey deep into PEI's red-dirt countryside on a curated island experience. This is literary pilgrimage meets pastoral perfection — bucket-list Canada at its most iconic.

What to expect

Your guide leads you through the legendary Green Gables farmhouse rooms, richly interpreted with period furnishings and Montgomery's original inspiration points. You'll walk the Haunted Wood and Lovers Lane trails threading through the surrounding national park landscape, with red-sand fields rolling to every horizon. The tour weaves in quintessential PEI scenery — whitewashed churches, iron-red cliffs, and sweeping Gulf shores — before returning to port with plenty of time to spare. A well-versed local narrator makes every mile a story.
