Point Prim Lighthouse and Eastern PEI Coastal Private Tour

5 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

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 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.

We’ll travel scenic backroads like Jack’s Heritage Road, with red cliffs, farmland, and quiet coastal views most visitors never see. As someone born and raised in this area, I enjoy sharing the local stories that bring it all to life.
