MacQueen's Island Tours

Cycle to the Island’s quiet eastern coast visiting Montague’s waterfront and picturesque Panmure Island. From there you have a choice of cycling to Souris and the “singing sands” of Basin Head, to St Peters and the unique protected sand dunes of our PEI National Park at Greenwich, or heading west to the PEI National Park and Dalvay before returning to Charlottetown. Or, if you prefer, visit both Souris and St Peters and savor the unique flavors of both destinations. Return to Charlottetown via one of our favorite sections of the Confederation Trail, encountering quaint fishing villages, lighthouses, farmland, beaches, serenity, and friendly, down-to-earth locals that are the true pride of Prince Edward Island. Your pre-trip information kit will include links to some of our favorite local culinary highlights, activities, cultural venues and more, allowing you to customize your Island bike adventure to your own particular tastes and interests. Suggestions include (but are hardly limited to) local wineries, distilleries, craft breweries, our famous Culinary Institute, dairy bars, seafood shacks, clam digs/bakes, river cruises, or lobster boils aboard a fishing boat accompanied by the lilting tunes of a fiddling captain and his family, and some of the finest dining and local fare available on our fair isle.

Colonial villas, lush countryside, coastline and mountains, this tour features a broad cross-section of Cuba. Forging a path to true off-the-beaten-path adventure in Cuba in 1994, we are the original pioneers of cycle touring in Cuba. WoWCuba’s trips are geared to more sophisticated, experienced travelers who appreciate certain creature comforts, are looking to recharge and understand Cuba’s culture, history and lush natural resources far beyond the ordinary reach of the country’s visitors.

Cross Cuba on an odyssey journey from east to west, with the prevailing winds at your back. Stunning coastline bordering the Sierra Maestra serves as a backdrop before crossing the mountains to El Salton eco lodge, traversing to the north shore and the hidden gem of a coastal town Gibara, cultural capital Camaguey in central Cuba, then visiting the colonial meccas of Sancti Spiritus and Trinidad. The bayside city of Cienfuegos and its impressive architecture beckons before a paradisiacal afternoon of snorkeling in Caleta Buena in the Bay of Pigs. The final two nights in Cuba’s famous capital, Havana, round off the epic cycling and cultural experience.

Dreaming of the benefits of an active cycling holiday in Cuba without huffing up hills weighted down by all your belongings?
Do you relish stopping to indulge in fresh local fare without being limited to fixed menus or schedules?
Worried about whether your individual travel and riding goals will fit into a group itinerary?

If you’re nodding to yourself and feel relieved (and maybe even a tad excited) that we’re talking your language, then this is how you should be rolling in Cuba!
