The Green Gables shore tour

A guided half day from Charlottetown with entry to Green Gables and a drive through PEI National Park on the north shore. Pick it for the plain math: it is the lowest per-person price here for a guided visit whose listing states admission is included.

Green Gables Shore Half-Day Tour

About this experience

The listing names two things: entry to Green Gables and a scenic national park drive, on a guided half day of four hours from Charlottetown. It calls the area the Green Gables Shore, which is the north shore around Cavendish. That makes it the only group tour among the three here whose listing says admission is in the price, and at $85 it is also the cheapest of them.

The national park is Prince Edward Island National Park, a strip of beaches, wind-sculpted dunes and red cliffs along the Gulf coast, co-managed by Parks Canada with the Mi'kmaq. Green Gables sits at its edge in Cavendish. The farmhouse there inspired the Cuthberts' home in Anne of Green Gables; Montgomery's own family farm was about 1 km away, and the ruins of it form part of the same national historic site (Parks Canada).

Keep the entry in proportion. Adult admission is C$8.25 to C$10.00 depending on the month, youth are free, and from 19 June to 7 September 2026 everyone got in free with the Canada Strong Pass. You're mostly paying for the ride and the guide. Two gaps in the listing summary: it doesn't list pickup or a group size, so check where it starts before you book. It also needs booking at least 10 hours ahead, so it won't work as a same-morning decision.

  • Entry to Green Gables included, per the listing
  • A scenic drive through PEI National Park
  • Four hours from Charlottetown, back by early afternoon on a morning departure
  • The lowest per-person price of the three group Green Gables tours
