Prince Edward Island holidays

Prince Edward Island, or the ‘Garden of the Gulf’, consists of the main island along with over 200 minor islands. The capital, Charlottetown, is where the nation of Canada was born during the Charlottetown Conference in 1864. The island offers pastoral scenery, coastal drives and beaches. Many who visit will be overwhelmed by the charm and relaxed nature of its inhabitants. The island is also famous for its depiction in the novel Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908. There are direct flights to Prince Edward Island from Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa or Toronto.

Top things to do in Prince Edward Island

Culinary walking tour of Charlottetown

Take a leisurely walk through the historic downtown area of Charlottetown, sampling the area's unique cuisine en route. Try local specialities such as Malpeque oysters and island blue mussels, and taste beer from the island's oldest craft brewery. Escorted by an expert local guide, learn how food production has led to the development of the local economy.

Follow in the footsteps of Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery was the author of the popular children's book 'Anne of Green Gables', and Prince Edward Island was both her place of birth and her home for many years. Devotees of her work can visit the halls where she spent her evenings dancing and see many other significant places of interest in the picturesque part of Prince Edward Island that is now named 'Green Gables Shore'. The scenic landscape encompasses red sandstone cliffs, white sand beaches and ideal countryside for walking and picnics.

"The whole holiday was excellent. I cannot think how you could improve upon the the service...this holiday was one of the best I can recall. Your ground agents at the airport in Amman for our return flight were excellent. They have obviously a great deal of experience and made the check-in procedure effortless.

"[The most inspirational moment was] when we finally arrived at the childhood home of my mother at Katerri Falls, south of Ooty in the beautiful Nilgri Hills tea plantation country. We now understand why she missed Southern India so much when she returned to England in the 1930s.
Mrs Charmian Bourne"

"The tour was very well conducted by Malcolm Glaser, our tour guide and Charlie his driver - Malcolm could not do enough for us to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves therefore making the tour a great success.
