Prince Edward Island: What to See & Do in PEI

[@jonasdesean]

Mark "the people here are fantastic" Wolters

[@woltersworld]

because there are great people everywhere!

[@hittingtax2670]

Is there anywhere where the people are anything other than fantastic?

[@hittingtax2670]

I was actually thinking about nicknaming him Mark "Onononono" Wolters.

[@CamMacMastermusic]

Fantastic people attract fantastic people !! It’s just easier to find them on PEI.

Born and raised in PEI (a red head and former Anne of Green Gables look-a-like winner) and although I’ve moved away, PEI still holds a special place in my heart! PEI’s north shore beaches are some of my favourite in the world for awesome soft sand texture, stunning coastlines, lack of rockiness for the most part, good swimming (just be smart and watch for rip currents, if in doubt don’t go out if the waves are huge) and long stretches that mean you can walk for ages! My family has cottages there and I love to spend as much time as I can there in the summer. I’m so hoping quarantine restrictions will be relaxed and I can make it over there this year. It just won’t be summer if I don’t make it to a PEI beach! The lupins in June/early July are gorgeous and the fall colours stunning in September. I think Avonlea Village is different now than when you were there. Now it is mostly restaurants and gift shops. There are so many other Anne of Green Gables sights than just the house (which was built after the books). There is L.M. Montgomery’s Birth Place and the Anne of Green Museum. The musical also plays in Charlottetown at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. PEI is so much more than just Anne of Green Gables though. Don’t forget to check out PEI’s lighthouses, scenic drives, and dairy bars! Much love 😘 ❤️ to PEI 🇨🇦

Years ago, I had a young traveling ICU RN preceptee who conveyed that wherever he may visit or travel in this world, PEI will always remain his beautiful home. After reading the books as a child and hearing my young preceptee as an adult, I want to visit this beautiful place. As always, thank you for sharing😊

[@pandorabox82]

The books have made me yearn to visit here! Maybe it’s time to start planning a road trip...

[@woltersworld]

It really is a fun place and relaxing place to visit. Great nature.

[@ilexgarodan]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I was born and raised on the Island, so it makes me so happy to see videos like these!

[@sahpem4425]

The Anne series was a hallmark of my childhood. Anne of the Island was my all time favorite. I would love to visit someday.

[@woltersworld]

still the best version too

[@eastcoastartist]

Ever since watching the movie, I always wanted to go there

[@jocelynwolters293]

You absolutely must!

[@woltersworld]

It is wonderful! We loved it. I would go back again no questions asked.

[@sahpem4425]

Read the books first! Movies are never the same. 😊

[@woltersworld]

@@sahpem4425 Yes, so much better. We had the books on cd too and had listened to those. The kids were little (as you can see in the video) so the DVDs helped with the drive from Illinois to Florida to PEI :)

Man your personality is infectious keeps my mind off current events 🙏.

[@krugmeister7301]

PEI is A Very BEAUTIFUL place to Visit in the Summer...

[@MagnificentGermanywithDarion]

Great video, I can't wait to travel to Prince Edward Island. I especially have to try the ice cream lol.

[@erickeith1001]

Old school Mark,👌 Vid.

[@thata82]

oh man Anne of Green Gables is one of my absolute faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaves!! i've been to Victoria and Hallifax bc I was working in cruise ships at the time but unfortunately i didnt have the time to go to PEI but one day i definitely will! cute video btw !

[@kimm3473]

I do enjoy that we get the Canadian videos during the pandemic. 🤣 PEI is so beautiful. Thanks for the video! 💕

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

The picture of little Liam with the Canadian flag is super cute. ^_^

[@skie6282]

In my opinions August is the best time to visit! Warm weather and full summer growth around

[@KlassyKat45]

If you haven't seen it already, check out Victoria by the sea and French River.

[@CamMacMastermusic]

Check out Tranquility Cove clam digging in Georgetown. The most fun you’ll ever have. The fiddling fisherman in Souris. And the festival of small halls for all you music fans !

[@upabittoolate]

The BIRTHPLACE of Canada!

[@jimmyuk007]

Flashbacks!

[@woltersworld]

oh yeah. that 7 and 3 year old are now 13 and 9 :)

[@jimmyuk007]

@@woltersworld stop it! :( ha

[@samanthagaudet1461]

When all this is over you have to come to New Brunswick Canada. We are in Shediac which is the Lobster Capital of the world. Also we are 50 minutes from the Hopewell Rocks where the highest tides in the world are. I own a motel and visitor cottages. I will gladly put you up.

[@woltersworld]

I hope we can get up your way when this is over. Hope you are doing well!

[@samanthagaudet1461]

Wolters World trying. Doesn’t look like our business will open this year so that is scary. We will survive somehow. Praying for a vaccine as we were supposed to go to Ireland this fall for a month.

[@xchristine8700]

I'm from PEI! Glad you had a good trip there :)

[@woltersworld]

Loved it!

[@vicepresidentmikepence889]

4:19..They don't measure in inches...They measure in feet😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂..That's a lot of snow

[@woltersworld]

I should have said meters to be technically correct. A wonderful place. PEI is gorgeous.

[@rideauriverrafter]

@@woltersworld Centimetres! Snow is measured in centimetres; rain is measured in millimetres to be perfectly technically correct.

[@barbaram5214]

I visited last July! Loved it. Of course I went to the Anne of Green Gables House and they have a new interpretive center which is well done. PEI National Park on the north coast was my favorite. Province House unfortunately was completely torn up for renovation and Charlottetown traffic was a mess. I stayed in Summerside, the second largest city, on the western side and enjoyed it. Don’t forget to take a photo of the Confereration Bridge. Victoria is a cute town with a playhouse for live theater on weekends.

[@woltersworld]

looking forward to getting back to see the new center that is cool.

[@michelle8143]

I have always wanted to go to PEI. The boys are so little in this!

[@sarahlynhopp9701]

This has always been on my bucket list! I was hoping to get there this summer but we will see 😊 if not next year!!

[@alexandraparanac4105]

Lol!!! Just turned off Anne With An E on Netflix to watch some KZbin and clicked this video... what a coincidence!

[@woltersworld]

that is funny :) and a bit scary... the internet is watching us all :)

[@CamMacMastermusic]

Wolters World amen to that! Same thing happened to me ! I’m homesick for PEI now. Thank you for your awesome videos. New subscriber today.

[@murdockoliver2433]

PEI mussels!! Yeah baby!!

[@woltersworld]

soooooo good!

[@carolynmacdonald7024]

The confederation trail is nice to bike/walk as well and going kayaking or canoeing in some of the little rivers like Morell river is gorgeous as well. Someone mentioned the rip tides though at the beaches and there HAVE been tourists that didn't know about them and have had unfortunate encounters. They are dangerous, so be sure to read up about that before you play in the waves (watch your kids in the water for sure). It's too bad you seem to have gone too late to get the Rainbow Valley experience :( It closed down years ago but was a much loved and very creative little theme park for families. If you want to know about the local history then a book by David Weale is a great way to get some older local stories and tales of ghosts and superstitions. PEI is apparently the place with the most Scottish ancestry outside of Scotland itself and does subtly share lots of culture. The sayings and accents are usually pretty interesting to tourists as well. Check out that celtic music scene on the east end with the Rollo Bay fiddle festival in July or the Ceilidh's around the island!

[@alexwyler4570]

take the boat to " ile de la madeleine". 5 hours boat ride but a must

[@TheRodolfoVideos]

Such a beautiful place!!

[@woltersworld]

It really is

[@qwertyuio997]

I would love to visit it one day

[@webrarian]

How lovely (to my English ears) to hear Montgomery pronounced properly :-) M'ntgummery.

[@jdthornton78]

I thought that everyone pronounced it that way - everyone with that last name pronounces it just like you do where I live (Arkansas, USA).

[@tommyedodson2412]

TBT goodie.

[@gojl5567]

I loved visiting in high school and want to go back. Speaking of literary tourism, have you ever visited the Laura Ingalls Wilder home sites?

[@jocelynwolters293]

No but, that is a great idea!

[@woltersworld]

I have not done the Laura Ingalls Wilder sights, we have done Jane Austen sights though.

[@gojl5567]

@@woltersworld I help plan an LIW academic conference which has always included a field trip to one of the sites. In a typical year, they see people from every state and five to ten other countries. These are extremely rural small towns. They are great but also quite a bit different than people expect.

[@brunoschenkman8951]

Love some P.E.I mussels!

[@woltersworld]

Oh the mussels are INCREDIBLE!!!

[@JPMJPM]

My ex-husband is from PEI, and he said they had to put on ice skates just to go to the end of the driveway to get the mail (in winter).
