Cycle
Prince Edward Island
Trip Overview
This
is much more than a great cycling holiday. Throughout all 7 days, you will
experience the fullness and brilliance of Prince Edward Island. You will
explore from east
to west and on your way discover the beauty and rich history that appears
at every corner. You will enjoy an evening of theatre and have time to
investigate the beginnings of Canada
in Charlottetown. No PEI visit is complete without a chance to relax on
the beaches of Cavendish and to enjoy PEI’s wonderful hospitality at
fine restaurants and great accommodation,
which we have carefully selected.
You will cycle past sweeping landscapes of rich red soil with young green
crop growth extending to the shores of the Atlantic’s blue waters. This
tour does not disappoint the traveler seeking active relaxation.
Prince
Edward Island
Though it is Canada’s smallest province, this beautiful crescent shaped Island holds significant stature in Canada’s History. Among this history, is that it is recognized as the birthplace of Canada. Of course, the book “Anne of Green Gables” by author Lucy Maud Montgomery gave an omnipresence of trusting simplicity and romance, which remains at the core of Prince Edward Island’s charm. It remains one of few places where Irish Moss can be collected for use in many products sold in the stores today. A lesser-known fact is that PEI has been a great bastion for non-motorised transport as it wasn’t until 1919 that it became legal to drive a car on all of the roads on the Island. The non-motorised mindset has lingered through time though, making PEI a truly fabulous cycling destination. You will find a multitude of excellent and quiet roads, which crisscross the province and supply endless options for all cycling abilities.
