Royal couple's trip around the Commonwealth country has taken them to the bustling cities of Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec but today they will see some of the nation's picturesque spots.
William and Kate have starring roles in the boat race and have been given the task of steering their team mates to victory as they cross a lake in the province of Prince Edward Island.
After congratulating the winning team, the couple will be welcomed by First Nations people with a traditional Mi'kmaq smudging ceremony led by Lennox Island First Nation Chief, Darlene Bernard and Abegweit First Nation Chief, Brian Francis.
During the day the Duke will have the chance to show off his flying skills when he takes part in a dramatic helicopter drill.
William, an RAF Search and Rescue pilot, will join the crew of a Canadian Sea King helicopter in making a controlled landing on water know as 'waterbirding'.
William and Kate will also learn about Canada's history at Province House in Charlottetown where they will meet ''Founder Fathers'' in period costume before the Duke gives a speech.
As part of their day the couple will take part in a walkabout, enjoy different types of music from the Maritime provinces, including Arcadian, Celtic and First Nations, and sample local delicacies - like chocolate covered potato crisps and the region's famous lobster.
By way of contrast to events earlier in the tour, where large crowds have turned out, the duke and duchess were greeted sedately by the islanders who brought out picnic chairs and sat placidly waiting on the grass verges at the side of the road leading from the airport to the tiny capital of Charlottetown.
This is not a frenzied sort of a place. It was chosen for the itinerary, apparently, because of the duchess's love of its most famous fictional inhabitant, Anne of Green Gables.
The Victorian classic by Lucy Maud Montgomery about a feisty, freckled orphan girl sent to live on the island unsurprisingly features heavily in PEI's tourist industry promotions, such that some shops resort to having Anne-free zones to lure visitors wearied of the whimsy. But the book has been translated into 36 languages so there is plenty of scope for literary nostalgists.
Cast members of the annual summer musical version of the book, performed every year for nearly 50 years, will perform for the couple, but more boisterously there is also a dragon boat race to engage with and an air sea rescue team to watch manoeuvres, with the duke, who is performing the same duties at home on Anglesey with the RAF, taking the controls to test his skills. The royal party will then take a six-hour flight on Tuesday evening to Yellowknife.
