Driving Distances and Directions

Prince Edward Island is roughly
1600 km (1000 miles) from Toronto, 1000 km (625 miles) from Montréal, 1100 km (650 miles) from Boston, and 1450 km (850 miles) from New York City. Prince Edward Island is connected with the province of New Brunswick by the Confederation Bridge.

The Confederation Bridge

A 13-kilometre engineering marvel, the Confederation Bridge is a very quick, convenient and dramatic way to arrive or depart the Island. Connecting from New Brunswick, the Bridge brings you to the town of Borden-Carleton and the visitor centre/shopping complex at Gateway Village. The Bridge is open 24 hours a day and takes approximately 12 minutes to cross. Tolls are collected only when leaving the Island.

Northumberland Ferries

In addition to the Confederation Bridge, visitors can access PEI by ferry. Northumberland Ferries travel between Caribou, Nova Scotia and Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island, leaving on a schedule of about every hour and a half. The 75-minute trip is often considered a vacation highlight. Wood Islands is the gateway community to scenic and lively eastern Prince Edward Island. The fare for the ferry is paid only when leaving the Island. Up-to-the-minute schedule information is available by telephone at 1-888-249-SAIL. The ferry does not operate from the end of December until early May.
