andant Posted May 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2015 We are planning to go on a New England/Canada cruise with HAL and will be in Charlottetown, PEI from 8am to 5pm. We are planning to rent a car. Tom's guides suggest two trips: 1) North, to Anne of Green Gables, National Park towards Teapot rock, and 2) West, through Victoria to Confederation Bridge. Do you think both of them are doable in one day? Or you think it is pushing it and we will rush too much to make them both? If two are not doable, which of these destinations provide better photo opportunities? This is an approximate loop I was thinking of making: PEI drive Thank you! -Andrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did not go to Green Gables so we saved time there, but we spent about 1 1/2 hours at the Confederation Bridge and area around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann ns Posted May 30, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2015 This should be no problem if you do not take too long in any place. Be sure to go to North Rustico harbour which is very scenic for a quick peek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy_23 Posted May 30, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2015 North Rustico Harbour was my favourite place on the drive. We chatted with a fisherman who was cleaning mackerel, very friendly people in PEI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andant Posted May 30, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Thank you for your suggestions! We will do the drive! Any other places we should not miss on this loop? Villages, stores, beautiful photo opportunities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_More_Often Posted May 30, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2015 We have driven the northern part of PEI twice, but we stopped so many times for photos that we made it only as far as Malpeque before taking Hwy 2 back to Charlottetown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
