Description
Departing from the vibrant Port of Sydney, Nova Scotia, Cabot Trail Tours invites you to experience the serene beauty of the Cape Breton countryside, far removed from the hustle and bustle of urban life. As we journey along the Cabot Trail, Shuttle24 takes you across the picturesque Bras d’Or Lake, where you can admire the sight of small pleasure boats gliding over the shimmering waters.
Our first stop at Kelly's Mountain offers two breathtaking lookouts: the Bras d’Or and Saint Ann’s Bay. From the stunning vantage point at Saint Ann’s, soak in the panoramic views of the bay before we continue our adventure by crossing the water via the Englishtown Ferry, leading us into the enchanting Cape Breton Highlands along the Cabot Trail.
As we travel through the charming, sparsely populated communities, you’ll witness the local way of life, where residents thrive as fishermen or work in the forests as loggers and pulp-cutters. We’ll pass through quaint locales such as South Gut Saint Ann’s, North Gut Saint Ann’s, North River Bridge, Tarbotvale, Breton Cove, Skir Dhu, French River, and Wreck Cove, each with its own unique history, particularly the latter, known for the numerous ships that have met their fate in these waters.
Prepare to be awed by the majestic Cape Smokey, a steep ascent that rewards you with unparalleled views. Our journey then leads us to the Ingonish area, home to the luxurious Keltic Lodge at Middlehead and the renowned Highland Links Golf Course, consistently rated as one of Canada’s top golf destinations.
This unforgettable Cabot Trail Tour with Shuttle24 is one of the most sought-after shore excursion experiences for cruise ship passengers in Cape Breton. Discover the Cabot Trail like never before, embarking on one of the most iconic road trips in Atlantic Canada, where rugged coastlines, towering mountains, charming fishing villages, and stunning ocean vistas await you at every turn.
