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.

"Ethiopia is an absolutely fascinating country - one which fully deserves to be known better. The infrastructure details were accurately described in your brochure, and any shortcomings were made up with the richness of historical culture offered to us. Thank you for a brilliant holiday.
Mr & Mrs Sheppee"

"Standing in the Registan in Samarkand and marvelling at some of the most jaw-dropping and imposing Islamic architecture I've ever seen against a clear as crystal blue sky.
Ms Wendy Proctor"

"There were almost too many highlights to single out just one. However, I would have to include the first sight of the Taj Mahal in any shortlist. There were so many other wondrous buildings. We also greatly enjoyed the trip to the local village in Jaipur as it gave us a better insight as to how the rural community live.
Mrs Gwendoline Wilkins"

"Our guide Bhavari added to our enjoyment of the Amber Fort by telling us all about the historical background and explaining his own views. Rattan our guide in Delhi was also excellent. He is 75 and traced the huge changes he has seen in India through his own life story.
Mrs Angela Southon"

"The tented game reserve at Nkomwasi was sensational. The rangers were excellent in every way accommodation was well above average and the meals up to a very high standard. The second moment was the meal in the vineyard with the four course meal accompanied by wine with every course. The view was absolutely magnificent.
Mr David Buss"

"The visit to the Moscow Kremlin and Armoury was inspirational. The walk around the grounds, the churches, bell tower, gardens, tomb of the unknown soldier followed by a visit to the Armoury was amazing.
Mrs Jacqueline Rule"

"We are writing to you to say thank you for all your organisation, help and advice in our booking of our holiday to Egypt. Once again many thanks to you in particular and to your team who have made our holiday such a success.
Mr Rowlands"

"We had a fabulous time in Iran. Our carefully worked itinerary was nicely spaced and we were delighted with our female guide.
Mrs Byrom"

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for such a wonderful trip. I rate my holiday with Cox & Kings as one of the best ones I have ever had.
Mrs Marciano"

"We’re just back from our trip to India, and it was fabulous. Our many thanks to you and everyone at Cox & Kings who made the trip smooth sailing and very enjoyable.
Mr Rose"

"[Inspirational moments include the] dawn boat ride at Varanasi, walking out to see the Taj Mahal early morning and the lakes at Udaipur.
Dr Alan Watson"

"Pretty much the whole holiday exceeded expections, but the Roman site of Volubilis was much better than anticipated. The mosque in Casablanca was also a great visit. We hd not expected to be able to go inside because of Friday prayers, but this is possible between 0.00 and 10.00 am.
Mr Roger Rumbold"

"Our first evening in Khiva was magical. We walked by ourselves in the almost deserted streets of the old city and felt transported in another world, with the beautiful mosques and madrassas rising in the dying light. There were many amazing moments during the group visits but I would pick the climb to the Zoroastrian tower of silence near Nukus, looking at the great Oxus river and thinking of the flow and ebb of the ancient civilisations and cultures that were built and destroyed over the centuries in this now forgotten heart of Central Asia.
Dr Mireille Levy"

"Many thanks for arranging a brilliant itinerary in Namibia – we had an extraordinary time.
Ms Iles"
