Overview

Come spend the day with us and see the Island through the eyes of someone who calls it home. Our guides are born and raised Islanders who enjoy sharing the stories, history and everyday life of PEI, along with the places we love.

This private six-hour tour, just for your group of up to six, gives you all time to enjoy Green Gables, the North Shore’s red cliffs and beaches, and the working harbour at North Rustico. We also visit Covehead Lighthouse and The Dunes Gardens, with time for photos, questions and a lunch stop if you wish.

Anne is part of our story, but so are our fishing communities, farms and the people who make this little Island home. We want you to leave feeling you’ve spent the day with a local and got to know PEI a little better.

Green Gables and National Park admissions are included. Meals are at your own expense.
