Tourism is in full bloom on Prince Edward Island so it only makes sense that along with it you’ll discover the Lady Slipper, the province’s official but delicate flower that blooms in late May and early June.

Once on this island, it is not only the food and the golf that will capture your attention during this high tourism season, it is also its rustic nature.
