Paddle and Pedal the Island

For fresh air lovers, this itinerary includes three days paddling from inn to inn, followed by two days cycling the province's Confederation Trail. If classy country inns and fine dining sounds too soft, we can arrange for overnight camping instead. This is an individual tour; dates depend on outfitter’s schedule.

Live like an Islander - August 2009

Those of us who live in Prince Edward Island like to think we enjoy the best of all possible lifestyles. And with this press tour, we have agreed to share it! Over three days, journalists will fish for lobster, learn to sail, uncover the "secrets of seaweed." and prep a standardbred race horse for race night. More Islander options include making folk art, creating a sandcastle or playing in clay.
