“The Trans-Canada Highway bypassed Victoria. So did the shopping centres and tourist amusement parks. And that - along with its independent-minded citizens - is what makes Victoria the enchanting, picture post card place it is today.”  Stephen Kimber, Atlantic Insight Magazine The province’s only designated heritage village, Victoria-by-the-Sea is the quintessential Island community.  Set in the heart of the most productive potato fields on Prince Edward Island and home to an active lobster fishing port, it represents the storied past and yet exemplifies the future. We propose you spend a full day in Victoria exploring your creative side.  We have put together a range of experiences for you to choose from…..you'll have the opportunity to participate in one activity in the morning and another one after lunch.

Maurice Bernard is an amazing sand sculptor and he'll show you to create your very own mystical castle complete with dragon.  His techniques are very simple so you don't need any particular artistic talent.....just a willingness to have a good time on the beach alongside the Victoria wharf.

Or join Ben Smith from Enchanted Candles….you’ll be delighted with his story-telling as he shows you how to carve your own unique Island sand candles.   Ben describes his process as "a mysterious power of physics" allowing him to create blanks from hot wax fused with red sand from the Victoria shore.

Indulge your sweet tooth at Island Chocolates where they make all their amazing chocolates by hand….and so will you.  Emma and Eric Gilbert will teach you the secrets their family have used to create some of the most amazing chocolates you’ve ever tasted…..You’ll make molded chocolate, nut clusters and try hand-dipping….and the best part is even your mistakes taste great!

The Victoria Playhouse has been the heart and soul of the historic village of Victoria-by-the-Sea for almost a century.  It has also been the home of a summer theatre festival for the past 25 years.  This summer, the festival will feature three great comedies as well as an exciting new outdoor historical theatre pageant called Follow the Fiddler. We will arrange for you to go along as the Fiddler leads you through the village and then, the theatre's artistic director Erskine Smith will take you backstage at the Playhouse to show you the inner workings of this historic buidling. We can also arrange for tickets to the evening performance.

We will customize a day specifically designed around your choices of experiences.  If you want, we can also arrange lunch and dinner for you at any of the excellent restaurants in the village.  We'll take care of all the details so all you have to do is have an amazing day.

Let us know what you'd like your Day in Victoria-by-the-Sea to be and we'll give you a quote.
