Given the stairs, I would suggest the shuttle. There are two lookout points above to see the rocks instead, one by the stairs and one that veers off before the path down to the stairs. We went at low tide and enjoyed seeing the rocks up close.

Last week, we flew from California to Rhode Island and borrowed a car and made the long drive up to…read moreFundy National Park in New Brunswick. I was jet-lagged, tired, and it was rainy. I knew only that the nearby town Alma is known for its extreme tides. As mosquitos descended upon us, I fully expected to have a crappy time. This was not the case! Fundy is AWESOME. Between the incredible staff, the non-stop educational programs for all ages (we indulged in a fun sing-a-long campfire where hot chocolate was served, a moonlit guided kayak tour, numerous hikes and beach walks, etc) and the well-maintained trails, this is one of the most incredible parks I've ever visited. It has outshined every park I've been to in the US. It's tucked away in true wilderness, the kind of which I've never seen before, not even in Alaska. Miles and miles of open space. It was very green, and the air smelled sweet. And every sign was bilingual, which is exciting for a francophile like me! But it got even more exciting for me: In the national park gift shop, they had two books I illustrated!! I could not believe having traveled all that way and then seeing my own work in the gift shop, that was the coolest!! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Fundy's lush waterfalls, excitable bats, cartoonish bullfrogs, abundant wildflowers, fresh air, approachable and friendly interpreters, educational programs, wonderful trails, views and serenity. I'm glad we made the trip! Thank you to all the interpreters of Fundy, especially Pat, for making our trip extraordinary!

We did two tours with that company. We did a historical tour around Charlottetown, and we did a…read morefantasy fairy tour around Victoria Park (we were alone so it became a private tour for that one). We were pleased with both. Bring water. The good: The hostess (in old-fashioned costume) was very informative in both tours, and very bubbly. The Charlottetown tours was very fun to hear as she would tell us stories about the town (great fires, events that led to the Confederation meetings, hidden tunnels, etc.) Often stops in historical tours to explains some events. Some of the stops have seats. The bad: This is a fast pace walk, so if you are not really in shape, you might have difficulty following. The voice of the hostess can be buried by surrounding sounds (lawnmowers, other tour buses, etc.). The fairy tour is more a walk through a park/forest with stories (nothing to truly see but still nice). We were promised a bathroom break mid-tour but that did not happen. This was one of our favourite activity in PEI. I strongly suggest the historical tour.

4 .5 stars out of 5 stars because there are still a few minor things that I'm sure will be ironed…read moreeventually (I was told that the new owners purchased this place a about 2 years ago.) -my entire room is clean and tidy (no dust bunnies under the bed!), and the bed and bedding are comfortable - my room is ideally located; I can see the harbour from my window - I no longer have cable at home so tv/cable access for the weekend was a treat. - In my bathroom, the light fixture above the bathroom sink is cracked & has stains on it. - The water pressure for the shower could be better, and it takes a bit of time for the water to get to the right warm temperature. - there are sufficient toiletries provided which worked well for me because I did not bring a whole lot because I only had a carryon with me & did not want to have issues at airport security - breakfast is generous and tasty but could also use info on what will be served so I can have a choice on whether I was cheese on my breakfast sandwich OR just ask if you want something else - I attribute this to some language barrier (which the proprietors are working very hard on) and they are such a nice family (even their two sons try and help with the business) so just have to be patient when communicating with the proprietors. - The owners are very accommodating. - In the parlour / sitting area you can meet some of the other guests or during breakfast. There is for pay water & drinks in the fridge but there is also complimentary lemon water on the coffee table with chocolates (from Costco and Ikea). There are also half muffins and fruit danishes for your mid morning or afternoon treat. - if you really need to do laundry, they also offer a coin laundry to have your clothes cleaned -overall, I would recommend for folks to stay here; Also ideal for a solo traveler with no car.

How lucky for us that we ended up here. It couldn't have been more perfect! Our every need was met as well as our every request. Including borrowing towels for the beach. Maria provided the best service that we have received, so far on all of our adventures. From the moment that we were greeted we knew our stay would be great! We loved the made to order breakfast each morning as well as all of the advise that we received for where to go and what to see. Thank you Maria, we hope to be back again. We'll definitely send everyone we know your way!
