An unforgettable trip with Mac!

5.00We had a fantastic day! Mac was a great guide – warm, funny and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we experienced the area from the point of view of a local and discovered places you never get to see on a normal trip. The organization was perfect: Pick up and return journey worked smoothly so we were back on time on the cruise ship. We had fantastic views, the most beautiful autumn colours and an all-round great atmosphere. There was a lot of interesting information about the country and people and the wildlife – just perfect. Highly recommended! 👏🍁
The best tour ever !

5.00This was over the top amazing ! Our guide/driver Lloyd was warm, welcoming, super knowledgeable about the area, super engaging, and just an all around nice person ! We enjoyed every moment of our time with him as he showed us the most breathtaking sights along the Cabot Trail . This is without a doubt a class act and excellent operation. We were picked up and dropped off at the cruise port … it was an absolutely perfect day!! We will be talking about this day for a long time! Amazing !!!
Keep tour

5.00we were picked up from our cruise ship by MAC . He took us up mountains, jeep trails, lakes, valleys and many scenic sights. I highly recommend Mac and would use him again. He is very knowledgeable about the island because he grew up there. His company does more than jeep tours such as snowmobile, 4 wheelers and if you want a helicopter he can arrange that also.
Highly Recommend

5.00I had the pleasure of growing up with one of the owners, Mac. Years ago, while Mac was doing tourism in British Columbia, he said to me that he would love to start a business in our own province of Nova Scotia that would allow others to see what our province has to offer. Fast forward to today where I had the opportunity to support this business that he built off of that very idea. You will know within minutes of meeting Mac how passionate he is about this business. This isn’t just a unique experience where you get to see parts of Cape Breton in a different perspective off road. This is also an experience that offers history of the area, stories that will make you laugh and a guide that has the best outlook on life. To anyone reading this review - I highly recommend. This was an experience like never before. And to Mac if you read this - I am so proud of you.
