Full of hidden gems
Tour Description
Let’s head “down east” as the locals call it. The eastern part of the Island is home to many historic lighthouses, including Point Prim Lighthouse, the Island’s only round and brick lighthouse, and Wood Island’s Lighthouse located near one of the Island’s operational ferry terminals. During this tour your Professionally Certified Driver-Guide will bring the scenery alive with history, facts, and stories about the areas you pass by. The eastern part of the Island is also home to award-winning Rossignol Estates Winery and Copper Bottom Brewing.

Tour tips
While our private touring vans seat 6, it can become very snug should all participants be adults. Please consider this prior to making your booking to ensure the most comfortable and enjoyable tour possible. For adults, we often suggest no more than 5 passengers, with 4 being the ideal group size. While our vans do have the capacity for 6 people, should all those people be adults we strongly encourage upgrading to our large group version of this private tour which can seat up to 12 passengers comfortably.
