Tour Reviews

A Must. We all had great time. We saw seals and a bald eagle. The captain was so nice. He was informative but didn’t overpower the experience. He brought out a guitar and played us a sea shanty to attract the seals closer. Then we watched him pull up the lobster trap and we got to hold lobsters. Great experience over all. I would recommend it for anyone who wants the PEI experience.

Charlottetown is located on Prince Edward Island’s coastline. Here, you will find the Island’s vibrant seaside capital city. It has historic charm, diverse cultural offerings and many festive celebrations. Experience the best of our capital city with these insider tips:

Take a walking tour. Whether it’s guided by the Confederation Players or on your own – be sure to discover the history of Canada’s Birthplace . Alternatively, navigate beautiful Charlottetown by land and sea aboard the Harbour Hippo.

Explore Peake’s Wharf Historic Waterfront for shopping, dining and harbour views.

Victoria Row is lined with local artisan shops, cafés and restaurants. Take your time on this must-see cobblestone street that is closed to vehicle traffic during the summer months.

Prince Edward Island is alive with theatre. Take in a performance at the Confederation Centre of the Arts or the Guild .

One of the reasons we are known as Canada's Food Island is because of the range of farm-to-table culinary experiences you can find across PEI. There are lots of options within the downtown core of Charlottetown.

Engage in the many outdoor activities Victoria Park has to offer. Jump into the outdoor swimming pool, take in a ball game, try your luck on the tennis courts or tour the gardens at Government House. You will be in awe of the harbour views that surround the walking boardwalk.

Did someone say ice cream? Be sure not to leave Charlottetown without a taste of Canada’s #1 ice cream - COWS at the corner of Queen and Grafton streets.
