Point Prim

Typically, we begin in Charlottetown with outfitting and a short tour of the Island's capital. You will then visit our quiet southeastern coast, PEI's only winery, Montague's waterfront, beautiful Panmure Island, Souris and the "singing sands" of Basin Head or St Peters and the unique sand dunes of our National Park before returning to Charlottetown. You will cycle the Confederation Trail, encounter quaint fishing villages, light houses, farmland, beaches, friendly people and the peace and serenity that Prince Edward Island offers.
