Day 1

We’ll leave Halifax at 10 am, from there we will drive straight on through to Charlottetown with one quick pit stop along the way to let you grab some snacks, stretch those legs, and empty that bladder. We'll help get everyone settled into accommodations, and then you’ll have the rest of the day to play in Charlottetown as you’d like.

Day 2

We’ll depart from Charlottetown around 9am, drive through winding landscapes, up and down hills, make a quick secret stop before we land in Georgetown around 10am where we will join Tranquility Cove who will take us out on the water for a two hour fishing tour, one of the most memorable experiences for our guests, where as soon as you catch your mackerel it is tossed on to a BBQ and served right back to you. Doesn’t get much fresher than that! After this we will head to the beach, where you will get some free time to do as you please, while we get your lobster supper ready.

Day 3

Packed up and ready to head back to Halifax, we will check out at 9 am and head to Cavendish National Park area for a day to play on the beach, shop on the boardwalk, you’ll find amusement parks, wax museums, the fictional home of Anne of Green Gables, and so much more, it’s your choice, we’ll just get you there! Cavendish is known to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Canada, so if you want just chill in the sand, that is also an option. At 2pm, we’ll head up west, as we islanders call it, to Summerside, where I can’t let you leave without trying my absolute favourite ice cream at Holman’s before departing the island, to be back in Halifax by 6:30pm.
