Our tours
offer unparalleled flexibility for almost all levels of cyclist! There are
no guides, groups, locked itinerary or pre-set dates. Stop, eat and cycle
when and where you wish. We'll transfer your luggage and if a mechanical
problem arises, we'll immediately be on our way. We provide professional
equipment (view typical tour
bike
), routes are well planned and
established, your meals are near your accommodations and accommodation
is at select B&Bs and Inns. Travel at your pace with our intimate
knowledge of our Island home.
Typically,
we begin in Charlottetown with professional outfitting, a short tour of
the Island's capital and accommodations in our capitol city. You will
then cycle to our quiet eastern coast visiting Montague's
waterfront and picturesque Panmure Island. From there you have a
choice of cycling to Souris and the "singing sands" of Basin Head
or to St Peters and the unique sand dunes of our National Park before
returning to Charlottetown. Or, if you prefer, you can visit both
Souris and St Peters enjoying both destinations. You'll return to
Charlottetown by cycling the Confederation Trail, encountering quaint
fishing villages, lighthouses, farmland, beaches, friendly people and
the peace and serenity that Prince Edward Island offers.
