Pelee Island Excursion

1-night/2 days

Pelee Island, the southernmost territory of Canada, is situated just above the Canadian-American border. The climate on this island boasts the highest heat units in Canada, and the longest frost-free season in Ontario. Almost one third of the plant diversity of all of Ontario is represented on Pelee Island. On Pelee you will also find rare insects, snails, mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The island chain which Pelee is part of is known for the inordinate number of endangered species that make this oasis of green their home. Pelee beckons with a leisurely pace, quiet country roads, pristine beaches and more. This overnight package, which could easily be stretched to two or three nights, combines the best of Pelee Island with a taste of the only major Canadian city that is directly south of a major U.S. city. Included are historic landmarks, winery tours and tastings, groomed gardens, natural areas and, of course, international cuisine.

Pelee Adventure

Daytrip
spring/summer/fall

Your day on this island is an experience you will not soon forget. From the moment you step off the ferry and arrive on Pelee Island you know that you are experiencing a unique part of history. Pelee Island is home to about 300 permanent residents. Pelee Island is approximately 12 km north to south and is roughly 4 to 5 km east to west. Pelee is home to Lake Erie's oldest stone lighthouse and Canada's first estate winery with over a century of grape-growing tradition. Your first activity on this day is a professionally guided tour of the island. During the tour you will see the natural extensiveness of this special place. The next stop is the Pelee Island Winery Wine Pavilion where you take a tour, sample the product and than have a leisurely lunch after a short stroll through the Pelee Island Winery's Red Cedar Savannah Nature Reserve. After your day in this exceptional place it is time to go back to the ferry for your journey back to the mainland and home.
