Authentic Experiences

Experience the Island like a local. As proud Islanders, we’re eager to share our stories, traditions, and way of life with visitors. Our goal is to make you feel at home—like a true part of the family. With our Authentic PEI Experiences, you can dive in and experience the Island firsthand. We’ve carefully curated a collection of certified, hands-on experiences to help you live like an Islander. You can learn to haul a lobster trap, bake bannock and clams using traditional Mi'kmaq techniques, cook alongside top chefs, or even dig potatoes! These are just a few examples of the unforgettable activities waiting for you. Yes, you might get your hands dirty, your shoes wet and your knees a little muddy—but those moments will fade, while the memories of your Island adventures will last a lifetime.
