It is very hard not to fall in love with Cape Breton Island in the fall season. Read here why our ambassadors have fallen for this beautiful island, and perhaps why it will be a favourite for you too.
You may want to work your way up to this hike! So consider conquering North River Falls as something to aim for as you build your hiking repertoire. The hike is a well-maintained trail, part of the North River Provincial Park and Wilderness Area.
The St. Ann’s Bay area starts at the Exit 11 turnoff on the Trans-Canada Highway and it goes right up until the base of Cape Smokey. The views that you get are super-breathtaking. In the fall, it’s just like a haven of colours.
We have some of Nova Scotia's favourite Instagrammers coming to Cape Breton to experience the ultimate road trip, the Cabot Trail! Find out which way is the best way to experience the Cabot Trail.
You’ve probably seen some incredible Instagram posts from the end of the Skyline Trail or the winding Cabot Trail road.
This region includes beautiful communities like Cape North, Bay St Lawrence, Capstick and Meat Cove.
Looking for a great way to spend your long weekend on Cape Breton Island? Chéticamp will wow you! Let two local ambassadors, Jeremy Smith of CB West Paddle Boards and Napoleon Chiasson, one of our Acadian cultural ambassadors, guide you!
One of our favourite parts of this hike is the sound of the river beside you as you wander through the forest and see the stunning mountains of the Highlands around you.
