Happy Monday friends! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! Today I am so excited to share this blog post with you- the beginning of our shore excursion on Prince Edward Island that we took while on our Holland America Cruise!
After exploring Charlottetown on our own in the morning (you can read about our beautiful time HERE), we headed back to the Charlottetown port to meet up with our shore excursion tour. It was our first shore excursion with Holland America Cruise and it definitely did not disappoint!
For those who are interested in the exact shore excursion that we chose it was the Island Drive & Anne of Green Gables shore excursion. You can click HERE to read more about it on the Holland America website. We had debated for a long time about the best shore excursion and we were so pleased with how our final choice worked out! We were able to explore Charlottetown on our own in the morning (which we both enjoyed so much!) and then we still had the opportunity to explore a bit of Prince Edward Island in the afternoon. If you are looking to kind of "split your time" like we did it really is the perfect choice for both worlds.
Our tour drove out first to Cavendish Beach and the Red Cliffs area where we had a chance to spend some time, admire the beauty, and take some pictures. It was fun to see the red cliffs from this area as I hadn't explored the "top area" on my first time to Prince Edward Island. We had chosen to walk the beach (you can read about that HERE) and I loved the opportunity to see the cliffs from the top. In many ways they seemed even more dramatic and you could envision L.M. Montgomery's world in different and new ways.
The pathway leading out to the red cliffs overlook from the parking lot was so sweet as it was lined with the prettiest yellow and white flowers. I love the Queen Anne's lace flowers and how dainty they are! Mom and I chose to let everyone rush ahead out to the cliffs and just slowly enjoy the walk through this beautiful area. It did not disappoint!
What was also wonderful (and I have found this many times as a person who loves and does a lot of cruises!) is that when we made our way out to the viewing spot many people had already started to clear out and we had the area mostly to ourselves!
Our first view was stunning!
Those red cliffs are truly a hallmark of what I consider to be part of the beautiful Prince Edward Island!
The incredible beauty of the red cliffs was simply lovely to see and walk around and explore! I can't recommend enough to spend sometime out in this area of Prince Edward Island!
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to read today! I can't wait to share more with y'all regarding our Holland American Cruise adventures and about our time on Prince Edward Island! If you would like to read more about our cruise with Holland America you find more posts HERE!
Happy Thursday friends! I hope you have a wonderful day!
