Bryson Guptill

Founder of the Island Walk

Author of Guidebook: The Island Walk 3rd Edition

Bryson is the visionary founder behind the Island Walk, a 700-kilometre walking route that circles the breathtaking coastline and communities of Prince Edward Island. A passionate long-distance walking enthusiast, Bryson was inspired by his experiences on the legendary Camino de Santiago and dreamed of creating a uniquely Canadian walking experience that would connect people with the beauty, culture, and hospitality of PEI.

That dream became the Island Walk — an immersive journey through seaside villages, rolling farmland, red sand beaches, and welcoming communities across the Island. Bryson also authored the Island Walk Guidebook – 3rd Edition, sharing his firsthand knowledge, insights, and love for the trail to help walkers make the most of their adventure.

Through his vision and dedication, Bryson has helped establish the Island Walk as one of Canada’s most memorable long-distance walking experiences, inspiring visitors from around the world to discover Prince Edward Island one step at a time.
