Overview

Step away from the busy tourist routes and discover the quieter side of Prince Edward Island on this scenic private tour along the southeastern coast. Travel peaceful country roads and coastal shorelines shaped by farming, fishing, and strong Scottish traditions.

Visit Point Prim Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse on PEI, standing since 1845 with sweeping views over the Northumberland Strait. Explore the Belfast area, settled by Scottish immigrants, with a stop at St. John's Presbyterian Church.

Travel scenic backroads such as Jack's Heritage Road, where red cliffs, rolling farmland, and quiet coastal views showcase a side of Prince Edward Island that many visitors never see. Along the way, our local guides share the stories, history, and traditions that bring these communities and landscapes to life.
