What To Expect
Cabot Trail
The Cabot Trail is the "Crown Jewel" of Cape Breton Island. The 300 kilometre (186 mile) driving route offers spectacular coastal views, unspoiled natural beauty, encounters with wildlife, and warm hospitality in the Celtic and Acadian villages that dot the coastline. Although time constraints don't allow for the entire route to be travelled on a cruise excursion, we offer a "mini" tour that shows some of the best highlights with many look-off stops along the way.

5.00This is an excellent small group tour of part of the Cabot Trail, with gorgeous scenic, beauty and really interesting history and culture. Frank, our tour guide, was super. He conveyed his deep love for the region to us and was very happy to answer all questions we had. We really liked him very much.

5.00Met us at the terminal, easy to find. Minivan bit crowded, you would need to be able to climb in and out without assistance. Tour was great, Brian was exceptional. His commentary was right on. Stops were great, shot wonderful pics of the area. Highlight was our visit to the Cape Breton National Park, our 1st National Park visit for Canada. Only suggestion I had would be a quick stop at the Parks Visitor Center in the future.
The drive was...

5.00Brian was the perfect guide. He had first hand experience that he expertly wove into the history of this beautiful place. He timed the stories perfectly to coincide with the locations we passed. I had misgivings about the long road trip and I was so entertained that it flew by and I was so happy!
