Discover the Cabot Trail

As the largest urban area on Cape Breton and the island's historical capital, Sydney is the perfect mix of metropolitan charm and down home hospitality. Set off from the beautiful waterfront and immediately begin enjoying the extraordinary scenic views as you drive the famous Cabot Trail.

As far as iconic road trips go, the Cabot Trail is the "Crown Jewel" of Cape Breton Island. The 300 kilometer (186 mile) driving route offers spectacular coastal views, unspoiled natural beauty, encounters with wildlife, and warm hospitality in the Celtic and Acadian villages that dot the coastline.

This abbreviated version of the full route allows for a "mini" tour that will afford you some of the best highlights with many scenic stops along the way. Your local, friendly and experienced guide is knowledgeable on all things Cape Breton and will escort you to either Cheticamp or Ingonish, with stops at Kelly's Mountain and St. Ann's Bay.

This panoramic discovery tour is jam-packed with photo opportunities at every turn, experience first hand the majestic mountains, rivers, and wildlife set against the Atlantic Ocean. Explore Gaelic and Acadian cultures as you visit and learn about the history of this area set in a spectacular location that will create memories you will cherish for a lifetime.
