Cape Breton Island
3 Days / 2 Nights

Discover the island that's been ranked as the most beautiful island by Conde Nast Traveler magazine. Cape Breton Island truly offers a world of wondrous sightseeing opportunities that include the famous Cabot Trail.

Cape Breton Island's most famous resident, Alexander Graham Bell, once said, "I have travelled 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 outrivals them all."

Scottish traditions and Gaelic folklore come alive on this delightful three-day tour.

Destinations: Nova Scotia: Halifax, Nova Scotia: Baddeck, Nova Scotia: Cheticamp, Nova Scotia: Pleasant Bay, Nova Scotia: Neils Harbour, Nova Scotia: Louisbourg

Day 1: Thursday: Halifax to Baddeck
Transfer to New Glasgow to meet Tour Director and board 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 2: Friday: Cabot Trail Touring
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. Tonight there is a "Farewell" dinner. (Breakfast, Picnic Lunch, Dinner)

Arrivals in July, August and September enjoy a bonus while on the Cabot Trail: a whale watching boat tour (weather permitting) (Included).

Day 3: Saturday: 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. Your tour ends upon arrival in Halifax. (Breakfast)
