About

An easy four night, five day self-guided exploration of Western Cape Breton Island on a traffic-free trail – flat and very easy, with one day of hilly hiking in the Mabou Highlands.

Mabou is a cultural, musical, and natural gem of Western Cape Breton Island, at the heart of surrounding rural Gaelic communities. The day of highland hiking is magnificent, with breathtaking views from Sight Point and Cape Mabou.
The cycling, whether you use regular or electric bikes, is very easy, traffic-free, and gorgeous, through Port Hood and Judique along the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail.
  • Uninterrupted views over the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
  • Judique Celtic Music Interpretive Center.
  • Red Shoe Pub frequently has live music.
  • You can extend your stay or change the plan to play the world-famous Cabot links and Cabot Cliffs golf courses, with enough advance notice to secure a precious tee-time!
  • This easy ride flows seamlessly into our challenging road ride around the famous Cabot Trail.
The Mi’kmaq word for Mabou is Madawak – “where two or more rivers meet and flow into one larger river”.
