Prince Edward Island Travel Guide | Visiting PEI Canada:
Today we’re going to be taking you around Prince Edward Island, one of Canada’s 3 maritime provinces and the final destination of our road trip! We had four days to explore the island and during that time, we visited fishing villages, walked along the famous red sand beaches, toured the home of Anne of Green Gables, sampled our first lobster roll, and enjoyed a delicious seafood feast prepared by Sam’s uncle who is a chef on the island. It was a really fun visit, so all that and more coming up in this video!
We quickly retreated back to the farmhouse we had rented, and despite the mosquitoes attacking, we did get to enjoy a nice sunset on our sprint back.
The following morning, we got up bright and early ready to explore the island. Our first stop, a beach for Togo to splash around in.
After our visit to the beach, we hopped back in the car and drove up to Cavendish, where the main attraction is Green Gables Heritage Place. Whether you’ve read the books, seen the movies, or watched the series, setting foot here will transport you to the late 19th century where you can relive Anne’s adventures.
The following morning we woke up to a rather grey and rainy day, but that wasn’t going to keep us from exploring the island. We hopped in the car and drove to Greenwich Beach, which had been recommended to us by a local.
We drove to a nearby town where Togo got to enjoy some playtime on the beach, and after he had his fill of splashing around and fetching the stick, we got back in the car. At this point, the rain was really starting to pick up, so we returned back to the farmhouse.
The next morning we drove to nearby Borden-Carleton, a town located right at the foot of the Confederation Bridge. Every tourist who drives to PEI passes through here, plus the town has a few tourist attractions like a lighthouse, a boxcar, and some fun photo ops. And have I mentioned that you get the best views of the Confederation Bridge? Because you do!
That evening we had a very special guest. Sam’s uncle, Hans Anderegg, is a Swiss chef who lives on the island and teaches at the Culinary Institute of Canada. He kindly prepared us a seafood feast featuring oysters, scallops, fish and lobster. It was mouthwateringly delicious!

Both Dad's are so cool and funny to watch!! A beautiful family! 😊
Thank you very much Sarah! So nice to have everyone together.
Yeahh cool dad´s but Togo is always the Star of the show :)
And also your Chef Uncle
I loved these videos of the families together and enjoying life and our environment!
Thank you very much! We'll have more family trips coming up in the near future.
We brought our kids there in 2019 , loved it so much that we just bought land so we could move there 😁 loved watching your family travels ❤
Wow, that is so cool to hear!
I love Anne of Green Gables. Those books were some of my favorites growing up. It's so cool you got to visit that house!
It was like being right in the book!
Again, I'm so impressed by the nature... Looks so amazing, green and untouched :)
So green! We really enjoyed driving down the back roads and soaking it all in.
It isn't. Most of it has been turned into farm land. Additionally, they have higher rates of certain cancers possibly because of the excess use of pesticides and or fertilizers.
I'm not often a fan of pancakes but those "George's Fruity Flapjacks" stirred my appetite!! the fact that they sound health adds to their temptation!
They reminded me of YOUR banana pancakes...but with the added blueberries that made them purple. 😉
I was told about this video by someone who recognized the Airbnb and then noticed the random dog that came to visit. I have to take ownership for her. She is mine and her name is Rylee, my parents live right next door and Rylee occasionally spends weekends out there when I am busy. She has greeted many of the people who have stayed in the Airbnb.
Thanks Sara! We sure enjoyed getting the chance to meet Rylee, she is a such a sweet pup, and our dog Togo loved the company as well.
Smart doggie! Salmon is YUMMY!
Rylee is sweet!
As a New Englander, that lobster roll is making my mouth water. I miss them so much.
I hear you! Did you have a favorite spot to grab them in New England?
Ever since I was a little child and I watched "Road to Avonlea" I wanted to visit Prince Edward Island, for me it's one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Thanks Nekica! Totally agree with you.
I love how you all take care of that pup! So sweet 😊
Thank you very much Kammie! We love traveling with him.
Amazing family and very wonderful foods.
Thank you so much
Cool time at cooking and relaxing with family !
Thank you very much! So nice to spend quality time with family.
The most beautiful place on earth ❤
It is a pretty magical island!
I grew up in western pei I love seeing ppl enjoying the island glad u enjoyed your trip 🤗
Thanks Amanda! So cool to hear. We just loved visiting PEI.
The Anne of Green Gables books were honestly the most beautiful and striking depiction of Canada in the early 1900s ever. If I ever visit PEI it will only be to capture a tiny bit of the life that Anne describes in the books. 😊
Great serie because of the uniting of families.
Thank you! It was awesome to do this group trip.
What a beautiful place Sam and Audrey you did an excellent job video taping it and then editing it NUMBER 1
Thanks Effie! We're glad to hear you enjoyed our little tour of PEI.
Beautiful family.
AH, thank yoU! We had a great time together.
Amazing video once again Sam and Audrey😍 Hopefully we get as good at vlogging as you two, really inspiring for us who just started out 😊
Thank you very much! Keep at it!
You really show cased PEI very well. The food prepared by Chef Hans looks amazing.
Thanks! Chef Hans made the best meal by far :)
Thanks for the reminders of what Canada must be like. I've never been there - but years ago I flew back from Boston (USA) to London and for many miles the plane flew along the Canadian coast, and I thought "Blimey! Look at that! A tiny dirt road that ends at the coast....another road that ends at the coast....few signs of human habitation....mile upon mile of forest (probably with bears, wolves, moose and Gawd knows what else)...long may it continue! Long live Canada!
Thanks Keith! Having spent more time away from Canada than at home in my adult life it is the great wilderness that really defines this country.
Well, pei does not have moose ,deer, bears or wolves. We do however have skunks raccoons and coyote.
Love PEI, my favourite place in Canada. Then again, I am partial because my dad and his whole family are from there. Best mussels too
It is such a beautiful part of Canada RM! I don't even think you're being that biased. It is a wonderful place.
I typically visit PEI twice a year and whenever I go, I always seek out the scallops and oysters. The Culinary Institute is a place that we would visit once a year. The meal I had there was always the finest meal I ate each year. It is fine dining at its best. You go their to experience "flavour" concocted by very talented chefs. One year, I ordered chowder and it was the nicest chowder I've ever had. I don't think I will ever have that experience again but am glad I had the experience once in my life. The Culinary Institute is a place I would definitely seek out. They also serve lunch.
Wow! That is fantastic to hear. We'd love to try a meal there next time.
What a beautiful place! The video is perfect, every take, every joke, that adorable family, the edition...Excellent! I love Sam's laugh, by the way. I can't help but laugh, too. xD
Thank you very much Evelyn! We had such a fun trip together.
Went to PEI for the first time two years ago, there lobsters are underrated. Great vid love the channel
So cool to hear Lloyd! The lobster is fantastic as is other seafood. PEI is so much fun.
Awesome guest house!🤩 Have a relaxing trip!
Thank you! We loved that house.
Wow! PEI is gorgeous!
It sure is!
I love the bacon wraps.
Those were so delicious Donna! Could have made a meal just out of them.
I love PEI.....nice you two
Thank you very much!
Both your parents are amazing! Love Tobo! And I really like your channel. 👍🏻. That lobster dish looks so delicious 🤤!
Thank you very much!
I 'm a fish lover!! You guys make me.....awwww!!!!!
Thank you Mayumi! Hope you can try the fish and seafood there.
I loved this series. Thanks for sharing ot with us. Canada is so beautifull, I wish I could visit it sometime.
Thank you very much! We have a few more to come :)
The mosquitoes and black flies were the worst this year ..I think it was because we had such a wet spring. Beautiful white sand beaches on the north shore of PEI...I rent a cottage there every year.
Would love to visit the north shore on our next trip!
I absolutely love your channel.
Thanks for sharing such wonderful landscaping to delicious food.
Thanks Michael! It was a great way to end the road-trip.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos so enjoy 😃
All your family knows the joy of eating. Now I understand why you eat all the way. And it is the reason I like your guide.
Thank yoU! Yeah, we all do love to eat!
lovely family trip
Thank you!
Anne of Green Gables!!
Indeed! One of the top attractions on the island.
As always fun and informative. Nicely edited. It seems you had a great family vacation. I have to tell... your Dads are the stars of that series 😉 👍
Thank you very much Barb! Dad's + Togo = star of this series for sure.
Loved PEI in 2002. First time ever experiencing a mild sand storm near PEI National Park
That is cool to hear Darren! Woah, a sand storm.
@@samuelandaudrey Dave not Darren
Sorry Dave!
Anne of Green Gables. I would love to go there just because of the movie 🎥
I think the books and movies have introduced PEI to the world.
Love your family trips,keep em coming.
Thanks Mandi!
Muy bonitas tomas con el dron, bellísimos lugar, me impacta el color del mar. Que risa con los mosquitos y las ramas, es muy simpático tu papá.
Excelente video, gracias
Saludos 🙋🇲🇽
Muchas gracias Betty!
Lovely vlog! PEI is one of my favorite places in the world. It is so beautiful!
I watched entire Maritime tour videos , enjoyed a lot and impressed by the nature.
Thank you very much! We're filming an even bigger series in the Maritimes right now :)
Lovely
Glad you enjoyed our island
Thanks Josh! We had a fantastic time!
Just eating all the time!
Thank you so much for these videos. They calm me down and make me feel at peace. I've been watching all sorts of your east coast videos all day today and yesterday because I'm waiting on a job offer from the navy out in Nova Scotia! :)
Thanks Katelyn! That is really exciting to hear. All the best with that and if you do get a chance to live in Nova Scotia you'll have to let us know how it goes. We've always had the impression it would be one of the better provinces to live.
This is such an outstanding video.So good I will watch again.Great job guys,thanks so much.❤️
Thank you very much Susan! We had such a fun road trip together.
Love your videos, on this one less dog and more PEI scenery and landscapes
Thank you! There was a lot of dog in this video...haha

This was so helpful! Loved the dogs tips too since I was wondering what it would be like to travel there with my dogs.
Thanks Natalie! The dog absolutely loved this trip. It got more trail and splash time in the water than normal.
Great video!!! Nice PEI. Love it😍
Thank you very much PEI!
Just at the end of the wharf you find Beachcombers On The Beach Restaurant: their Lobster Rolls are SUPREME!
Thanks for sharing that!
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
When were you there? By the look of the lupin and the freshly planted farmers' fields I'd say mid to end of June? We have a house (built 2007) on the southern shore and spend a fair bit of time on the Island. We were there on holiday in 2005 and just fell in love with the place. Summers would just not be summer without PEI. Weather really turned HOT in July and stayed that way until last week.
Thanks for the video, you did a great job capturing a little of the Island's glory!
Thank you! We visited in early July of this year :)
Lovely video. I’m an islander. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
Thank you! We had so much fun visiting PEI.
I love Maple Salmon also. I make it at home quite often . I also shred some really fresh Ginger add add it to the mix. So good.
Wow! That sounds soooo good with ginger!
This is Beautiful. This would be a beautiful place to visit. Really to live. I will keep following you.
Thanks Linda! It sure is a beautiful part of Canada.
Interesting place. I got beautiful tourist brochures about New Brunswick and Nova Scotia years ago, but have not explored yet. Nature seems very similar to Northern Europe.
Thank you! The landscapes are very similar. I would also recommend BC for wilderness.
What's the origin of your dog's name?? Every time I hear Togo, I think of the yummy sandwich shop here in the US. PEI oysters really are the BEST!!
Thanks Sarah! He was named after an Alaskan sled dog: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togo_(dog)
Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you!
Awesome video! Such a beautiful island. I'm going to put PEI on my must visit bucket list. You guys eat like kings. :-) All that delicious seafood had me drooling. lol. I copied the salmon and scallop recipe that Daniel was making. :-) Can't wait to see your next road trip.
Thanks Yoli! The food was a real highlight!
Holaaaaaaaaaa !! Vi la serie por Netflix , es hermosa !! las tres temporadas !!! de ANNE OF GREEN GABLES !! Me encanto !!
Muchas gracias María!
Good luck in the you I you famil,🛫
I love travel to Canada 🇨🇦and, feutur the residents N.B and my family.👨👩👧👦
Thank you! That is exciting to hear! Best wishes.
Wow, i bet the dinner made by Sam's uncle and such an accomplished professional chef was really yummy!
A good way to cook the bacon wrapped scallops is to partially cook the bacon first; wrap them around the scallops and cook both till the bacon is cooked the rest of the way and the scallops are done. This way you don't overcook the scallops.
I always used to chew the oysters a little. Horseradish sauce added is nice too.
Yummy scallops wrapped with bacon!
So delicious! We're still thinking about those. 😋
Audrey's father is BOSS!
Love having him in the videos.
The lobster rolls at $14 CDN are cheap in PEI. Those same lobster rolls go from $22-35 USD in Maine.
My 2 favorite provinces are PEI, NOVA SCOTIA. We went there years ago. Love ANNE of Green Gables..
Also Lobster Rolls famous in MAINE
Lol did Toji and his friend have salmon? Love watching your dad his knowledge of cooking, wine
I love you guys❤ All your content is amazing!😃 Also, I have a question; where is your dad (Audrey's) from? Just curious☺
Ah, thank you! He's from Argentina.
There’s a beautiful trail in greenwich that’s a bit further down from the beach, i’m not sure if dogs are allowed but it’s a floating boardwalk so you go over the water and through the dunes! So pretty.
Thanks for letting us know Lauren!
Love the mosquito walk and I love the Island ❤🍁haha
Thanks Stephen! Hahaha...they were intense that evening!
Maple syrup is popular in other countries but it is hard to find it without the heavy glass bottles which add to the weight for foreign visitors who want to take some home. By the way I had maple sausages the other morning. If you are overnight on a farm wait til you have to go get the cows home, and I had a hard time to get them moving in the right direction. Thanks for another great video.
Perfect vlog 👍
Thank you!
i love your dog.
Thanks, he keeps us on our toes.
Oh My, She's perfect, Dad's are cool...
Thanks Gordon!
Oh that house reminds me of the one I grew up in.
Very cool to hear Elizabeth! Sounds like a beautiful house.
Omg, I LOVE TOGO!!!
I hereby grant him official "honorary islander dog status" 😉 you guys deserve honorary islander status too of course.😀
Thank you! We love having him with us.
Hehehe...thank you! He gladly accepts :)
@@samuelandaudrey oh yay!!🐕❤
@@samuelandaudrey i really wish you lovely folks(and furfolk) had visited our beautiful WESTERN end of the island when you were here. There is still so much to be discovered by you! Maybe next trip!😉
So pretty
It sure was!
Next time, I would try a NOT-red with your maple salmon scallops. A German auslese or spätlese would hold up to the sweetness. Perhaps a Pinot Noir. Or a full white, like a warm-climate chard. Way better I would guess.
Totally agree with your suggestions!
我来了
Thanks for the video! May I ask how did you arrange the chef to cook at your place? The culinary experience is such a highlight !
Thanks Keith! He's a family friend so that was our unique connection.
Did you notice Audrey's father had nothing on his plate and was looking out from Samuel's plate? Snobery at its best. Don't cry for me Argentina.
Oysters at 23:35. If raw oysters are not your thing, you can cook them in a frying pan. I cut the bile duct off. I then fry the oysters on low heat in garlic, butter, and oregano. They're delicious. You should also try the oysters from British Columbia's Georgia Strait. They're bigger than PEI oysters.
wow thanks for this video! I’m a Canadian living in BC but have never visited PEI but planning it for next summer (once covid restrictions are less strict)! did you guys stay in the same airbnb on all four days? it seems like everything in PEI is like an hour-ish away from each at most which areas specifically did you guys stay in?
Thanks! That is great to hear. Yeah, you can be based anywhere on the island and being comfortable driving distance. It is small enough to easily get around.
Now i am hungry👨🏽🍳
Wish we could share Oliver!
Hungry👍
Thanks Michael! Wish we could share!
Beautiful place.^^. One day maybe I'll visit this paradise... I live in Manaus, Amazonas / Brazil .. For now we cannot leave here because of the Pandemic. But who knows, one day I might even live in PEI.^^. Now, the coronavirus is swallowing many lives here :_(
Thanks Paulo! Wishing you all the best. It is a tough time all around the world these days.
@@samuelandaudrey Thanks, May God bless you.. Wherever you may roam.^^.
I know I’m late on the video lol but I an actually a peislander I’m from a small town called souris you guys should visit sometime.
Great video! Does your dad have a Greek accent? Love it!
Thanks! It's an Argentine accent.
@@samuelandaudrey I just enjoyed your video so much! Thank you
I wanna know the name of the beach with the bridge where Togo got to play in the rain
Sorry forget the name to be honest.
Salut from Brazil
Salut Gregório!
