Create an Ocean Gem

As a visitor to PEI, you can do more than just witness the Island way of life. You can live it, too. Real experiences. Simple pleasures. Being active and relaxed at the same time. Any island is its own unique world. Stories, music, recipes, and skills are preserved and passed down for generations. But here you're welcome to take part, and take home some of our traditions. Islanders are eager to help. In an ever-growing series of activities, you can work side-by-side with chefs, artisans, fishermen, farmers, musicians, and a host of people who defy categorizing, but who love what they do and want to share it with you. So if you're looking for a holiday with some real life behind it, you'll find it here. Yes, you might get your hands dirty. You might also get your shoes wet. And your knees stained. All temporary. But the memory of your Island experiences will last a lifetime.

How often have you caught and cooked your own lobster;  do you even know what it means to tong for oysters? Prince Edward Islanders are ready and waiting to help visitors taste their first oyster fresh from the sea, or share the excitement of handling a live and wiggling lobster.
