Prince Edward Island's pastoral red-clay landscape — the setting of one of literature's most beloved stories — is best savoured privately, from the Green Gables farmhouse to hand-crafted artisan encounters and locally sourced seafood.
What to expect
Your private guide meets you at Charlottetown's cruise pier and sweeps you into the island's rolling green countryside. Visit the National Historic Site of Green Gables, walk the woodland trails immortalised by Lucy Maud Montgomery, and absorb the pastoral calm of PEI's farmland. Stop at a working oyster farm or artisan studio, and close with a curated seafood lunch at a waterfront restaurant selected by your guide for quality, not tourism.
Good to know
Charlottetown typically offers a generous port window — confirm your all-aboard time and build in buffer for the lunch stop. The Green Gables Heritage Place is busiest mid-morning; ask your guide to time arrival for an early or late visit. Book the tour before sailing — PEI port days fill up quickly in July and August.
