A private van tour of the north shore

A five-hour private minivan day on PEI's north shore with a multi-generation Island guide, taking in some of the island's best-known sights. Pick it if you want beaches, dunes and coast at your own pace for a group of up to six, and treat Green Gables as an extra to ask about.

North Shore of PEI Private Van Tour

About this experience

The listing promises "some of the most popular and beautiful attractions on PEI" on the north shore, in a private minivan with a multigenerational guide. Five hours, $475 for a group of up to six. It doesn't name Green Gables, or any stop. Cavendish is on the north shore, so it's an obvious request, but check with the operator before you book, and know that admission isn't mentioned.

The north shore is what most visitors picture when they think of PEI: white-sand beaches, dunes and red cliffs, much of it protected as PEI National Park, which has a seashore path, a lighthouse picnic area and woodland trails. Tourism PEI's 2026 guide notes the contrast with the south shore, where the sand and cliffs run red (Tourism PEI). It's the island's beach country, and in summer its car parks fill before 11am.

Five hours private for $475 is the lowest private price on this site. Six people pay about $79 each, less than any group Green Gables tour. For a couple it's $238 each. The catch is the vague listing: no stops, no pickup and no inclusions on the listing summary, so ask questions first.
