Cape Breton Island Vacations, Accommodations and Attractions

Find outdoor adventure for every kind of explorer.

If birdcall, whispering-breezes and rushing-rivers are your ideal soundtrack – this is your Island. Our Highland National Park alone has 25 hiking trails, covering 950 square kilometers of undisturbed wilderness and unsurpassed natural beauty.

For those with a taste for a more manicured landscape, Cape Breton is a required golf pilgrimage. Explore a range of challenging and pituresque courses dotting the Island – and don’t miss the Highland Links in Ingonish, which was rated the Top Public Course In Canada by Golf Digest.

Cyclists will experience some of the most memorable journeys to be found on two wheels. The rugged beauty of our Island, and our warm hospitality, put us #9 on the prestigious Lonely Planet’s top places to cycle in the world. Be sure to bring your camera.

Cape Breton is also a boundless playground for those who are more comfortable afloat than afoot. Explore our shores, lakes and rivers by sail, kayak or canoe. Enjoy relaxing paddles on gentle-waters, or an exciting journey over rolling-swells for a close encounter with a whale.

Can’t get enough of the outdoors. We’ve got more around every corner.
