Enjoy a day viewing some of the iconic attractions on Prince Edward Island.
A panoramic drive through Charlottetown allows you to learn the history of this quaint little town known as the Birthplace of the Confederation. Uncover the city's rich history as you drive along Great George Street and see the Province House National Historic Site and St Dunstan's Basilica.
Travel the Trans-Canada Highway through towns and villages toward the eight-mile-long Confederation Bridge. This marvel of engineering, connecting the provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, opened in 1997. Enjoy a view of the bridge from Gateway Village, where a brief pause allows you to browse for souvenirs or sample some Prince Edward Island potato chips (at your own expense).
Step inside the Anne of Green Gables Museum at Silver Bush, where descendants of Lucy Maud Montgomery (author of Anne of Green Gables) await your arrival. They will invite you into the old family farmstead. Enjoy a "visit" with Anne -- PEI's beloved red-haired orphan -- or you may prefer to simply enjoy a stroll along Lover's Lane.
A light lunch is served at the Prince Edward Island Preserve Company. Wander through the pretty grounds or sample some preserves before heading back to the pier.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring a light jacket or sweater. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Terrain includes steps inside the houses (these are steep and are not wheelchair accessible), grass, dirt, gravel and uneven paths. Two wheelchairs can be accommodated in the coach's storage area; however, participants must climb steps to board the coach.
