Lucy Maud Montgomery has delighted generations with her colorful tales of the feisty, red-haired orphan with the big imagination. And this all-day tour will delight fans of the 'Anne of Green Gables' books, the first of which was published in 1908 to international acclaim.
Your tour begins as you board your transportation for a scenic drive to Cavendish, a quaint town set on the north coast of Prince Edward Island and the hometown and setting of Anne and her family and friends. After traveling through rolling farmlands, along coastal roads and through picturesque villages you'll enjoy your first stop of the day at Shop & Play, the only place in North America that creates heirloom quality figurines inspired by the Great Literary Classics. Once you disembark you can visit the showroom and view the finely crafted figurines depicting Anne.
Back on the road, you'll head out towards the harbor and beach at North Rustico. This winding section of Prince Edward Island's North Shore offers miles of captivating scenery. Situated in the island's Green Gable's region, Rustico is a quaint community that can trace its roots back to 1790. Here, if conditions permit, you can disembark for a photo stop at the famous red cliffs that stroll from the green hills down to the azure blue water.
By now, you've probably worked up an appetite so lunch is next on your itinerary. You'll sit down at a local restaurant and have a chance to relax and take in the spectacular views of beautiful Rustico Bay before climbing back aboard your transportation and continuing your journey.
Your engaging day continues through picturesque rolling hills to the island's most popular attraction-Green Gables Homestead. Each year thousands of visitors from around the world visit the site, which inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery's novels. You have an hour to explore the farmhouse, lake and barns, and to browse the gift shop before proceeding to your final stop of the day.
Cows Creamery is a sweet way to remember your visit to the land of Anne of Green Gables. Known for creamy chocolates, peanut brittle, and fudge, Cows ice cream was awarded 'Canada's Best' by Readers Digest and 'World's Best' by Tauck World Travel. After a quick visit to the gift shop, you'll reboard your transportation for an idyllic drive back to your ship.
