Good things come in little packages. If you are like many people, your visit to the red island is brief. Pack a lot into one day of rowing. The Islanders are going to make a fuss over you and ensure that your day of rowing in PEI is fun and memorable. You’ll row coastal boats on this trip, which is logical given that PEI is an island surrounded by a lot of salty water. This trip is perfect for flatwater rowers who wish to experience a bit of coastal rowing – in a safe environment with experienced local guides and without the extremes that some coastal races and events offer. Charlottetown is a small capital city. You will enjoy a unique view of the capital city, from the spires of St. Dunstan’s Basilica, to the scenic Victoria Park, to the farms of dairy cows along our route. 

Those of you who know your Canadian history know that Charlottetown is the birthplace of Confederation. It was here in 1867 that the idea of Canada came into being. Although small, there is a lot to see and do in Charlottetown. Enjoy a city walking tour with the Heritage Players, whose streetside conversations bring history alive. Walk the harbour pathway, stopping for a lobster roll and of course an ice cream from Cow’s Creamery. They say it is Canada’s best. On such a small island it is easy to travel quickly to Cavendish, of Anne of Green Gables fame and home to a stunning national park along the Gulf of St. Lawrence. You could bike on the Confederation Trail, a rails to trails project, part of the Trans Canada Trail. Multiple golf courses dot the island, which is ringed by beautiful beaches and many fishing villages. Be sure to indulge in a lobster supper!
