Cape Breton Island Tour
Cape Breton Island's most famous resident, Alexander Graham Bell, once said, "I have traveled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrival them all."
Cape Breton Island has attracted visitors to its shores for thousands of years. Here, the land meets the sea; the air is fresh and alive with history and culture creating an enchanting and almost indescribable atmosphere. Scottish traditions and Gaelic folklore come alive on this delightful tour.

4 Night Itinerary
- DAY 1: Arrive in Halifax and check in at your accommodations for the night. Your vacation begins at a hotel that is ideally located in the downtown core.
- DAY 2: Depart from Halifax on scheduled transportation to New Glasgow where you will meet your Tour Director and board your touring coach. Then proceed to Cape Breton Island - “the Scotland of North America.” Visit the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Baddeck to marvel at the many accomplishments of this genius. Spend two nights at a charming lakeside resort in the heart of Baddeck. (Dinner)
- DAY 3: Cabot Trail touring (If you prefer not to join us on this day-tour, enjoy a free day at leisure or perhaps play a local golf course). You’re off to experience one of the prettiest drives in North America, the Cabot Trail. Cape Breton Highlands National Park is next, as you wind along this ribbon of highway where the mountains meet the sea. The vistas abound as you travel over the flat-topped mountains. During your journey, enjoy a whale watching boat tour (weather permitting). Tonight there is a “Farewell” dinner. (Breakfast, Picnic Lunch, Dinner)
- DAY 4: Baddeck – Halifax. The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site awaits you. This reconstruction recreates one-fifth of the town of 1744 - words will not do justice to the scope of this tribute to New France. Roam the streets talking with some of the costumed guides who remain in character, or sample the sustenance of the era. Your tour continues along the shores of Bras d’Or to the mainland. The last night is at a downtown Halifax hotel. (Breakfast)
- DAY 5: Depart Halifax.
