If you need to shorten the itinerary, skip the dolphin‑watching cruise and combine Day 4 and Day 5 in the Maldives, or condense the PEI segment by staying only at the KOA and visiting Cavendish and the National Park in a single day. Always keep your dog’s vaccination records handy, and book pet‑friendly campsites well in advance, especially for September travel.
