Supported Independent Cycle Tours of Prince Edward Island

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, 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 outfitting, a short tour of the Island's capital and accommodations in our capitol city. You will then cycle through our quiet eastern coast, Montague's waterfront, pictureseque 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'll cycle the Confederation Trail, encounter quaint fishing villages, lighthouses, farmland, beaches, friendly people and the peace and serenity that Prince Edward Island offers.
