Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island is Canada's smallest province but delivers an outsized dose of charm. Best known for red sandstone cliffs, rolling green farmland, and the world's best mussels, PEI also offers a surprisingly rich outdoor experience. The giant bluefin tuna fishery is world-class, with fish exceeding 1,000 pounds caught within sight of the island's famous red cliffs. Waterfowl hunting on the island's countless bays and inlets is excellent and accessible. And the fishing, from brook trout in quiet streams to mackerel off the wharf, is a perfect complement to the island's relaxed pace.

About Prince Edward Island Hunting & Fishing
Prince Edward Island is the antidote to hardcore western hunting trips. This is a place to slow down, soak in the scenery, and enjoy outdoor experiences at a gentler pace. The bluefin tuna fishery is the headline — giants caught on stand-up gear in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with the red cliffs of PEI providing a stunning backdrop. Waterfowl hunting for black ducks, Canada geese, and teal is productive and accessible across the island's many bays and inlets. Brook trout fishing has a long tradition here, with quiet streams and ponds offering peaceful days on the water. PEI is especially well-suited to families and visitors who want to combine outdoor adventure with the island's famous culinary and cultural experiences.
