Cape Breton Island Ambassadors Davey and Sky were selected by Explore Canada as official ambassadors for their home province of Nova Scotia.

Cape Breton Island is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, and when winter descends, the island transforms into a wonderland of snow-covered trails, frosted trees, and serene vistas.

Cross country skiing in the highlands is definitely unlike any skiing we had done before. There’s no groomed track or perfectly flat terrain to ski, instead it’s an adventure in its own right every time we venture into the snowy highlands.

It’s time to find the heartiest, homemade meal on Cape Breton Island this winter.  Our Island offers many options to chase away the chill. 

It is well-established that dance tradition is an important, if not defining, influence on Cape Breton's traditional music.

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.
