At MacQueen’s, we offer fully customizable cycle tour packages for the Island Walk & Confederation Trail routes, allowing you to tailor your bicycle adventure—whether you prefer shorter rides, fewer luggage transfers, or eco-friendly options like pannier rentals to reduce costs and your carbon footprint.

Choose Your Adventure
MacQueen’s provides shuttle service from/to Charlottetown for cyclists on tip-to-tip Island Walk & Confederation Trail journeys. We have five published Cycle the Island Walk itineraries (6-17 nts) that begin/end in Charlottetown. Luggage transfers are optional, and some longer trips feature two-night stays at select properties, giving you time to explore the area or rest & recover.
For families and those seeking car-free cycling, our five Confederation Trail Tip-to-Tip packages are ideal. One even includes a two-night stay near the PEI National Park for exploring the Cavendish area & Gulf Shore Parkway West, if you don’t mind some mixed riding to get there.
Prefer more varied scenery? Our Cycle The Island Walk North Shore route blends coastal views, cultural stops, and charming villages—perfect for those comfortable sharing quiet secondary roads with minimal traffic.
We Handle the Details, You Enjoy the Ride
Our team of local cycling experts takes care of everything:
✔ Premium bike rentals (hybrid, gravel, or e-bikes) with a repair kit
✔ Handpicked accommodations near dining options
✔ Expert route planning with digital maps (RideWithGPS compatible)
✔ Optional luggage transfers & roadside assistance contacts
✔ Curated recommendations for dining, activities, and hidden gems
Your routes will include insider tips on PEI’s best culinary delights—think local farmer’s markets, U-picks, wineries, craft breweries, fresh local seafood, lobster boils on a fishing boat, food trucks and farm-to-table dining.
Smart Cycling Tip
- Test ride first! We highly recommend planning time for more than just a 1 hour warm-up ride & adjustments in Charlottetown prior to embarking on your adventure. If your PEI arrival schedule permits, just let us know if you’d like us to quote for a morning or earlier pickup time.
