Yes, there are technically two distinct ferry routes that connect Prince Edward Island (PEI) to the mainland, though they serve very different purposes. The most famous is the Northumberland Ferry, which operates between Wood Islands, PEI, and Caribou, Nova Scotia. This is a seasonal service (usually running May to December) that takes about 75 minutes and is a popular scenic alternative to the Confederation Bridge. Interestingly, the fare for this ferry is only paid when you leave the island; if you arrive via the bridge and leave via the ferry, you pay at the Wood Islands terminal. The second route is the CTMA Ferry, which connects Souris, PEI, to the Îles de la Madeleine (Magdalen Islands) in Quebec. This is a much longer voyage, taking roughly five hours, and is the primary lifeline for the remote archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. While many people think of the Confederation Bridge as the only way to get to PEI, these two ferry services remain vital for commercial trucking, tourism, and regional connectivity, especially for those traveling from the eastern parts of the Maritimes or heading toward the Quebec islands.
