Explore Prince Edward Island of Anne of Green Gables fame! Located in the southern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it boasts stunning scenery and 50 different lighthouses. On this easy tour, those historic lights point the way to an island exploration filled with fantastic photo opportunities. There's the dramatic Prim Point Lighthouse, one of only two round brick lighthouses in Canada, then the Wood Islands light, consisting of a 52-foot-high tower rising from one end of a charming red-and-white keeper's house. A narrated drive of Charlottetown's landmarks from the Great George Hotel to the Gainsford House and the Province House National Historic Site of Canada, outlines the capital city's proud history as the birthplace of Canada's confederation.

While Prince Edward Island is Canada's smallest providence in terms of area and population, it more than makes up for this with the friendliness of its people, its natural beauty, and for being known as the birthplace of Canada.

 

The island's landscape is dramatic and features rolling hills, pristine forests, reddish-white sand beaches, ocean coves and the famous red soil. The capital of Charlottetown offers a small town feel and a relaxed atmosphere with a cosmopolitan flair. The town has evolved into a dynamic city without sacrificing its historic charm. One certainly cannot think about Prince Edward without mentioning the author Lucy Maud Montgomery who once lived on PEI and drew inspiration from the land during the late Victorian Era for the setting of her classic novel "Anne of Green Gables." PEI also has another claim to fame with the Confederation Bridge built in 1997. The world's longest bridge over ice-covered waters provides a connection from PEI to the mainland Canada.
