Kayak, Hike, Bike; The Best of the Cabot Trail

Experience the majestic Cape Breton Highlands from the mountains to the sea!

Join us on a full day, guided hike along a northern mountain trail to a remote coastal meadow. See the ruins of Cape Breton’s northern most lighthouse. Explore the windswept coastline and hear the stories of the people who once carved out a living between the rocks and the sea.

Our trained guides will take you on a sea kayaking adventure through of the wonders of Cape Breton’s natural environment. Paddle along gypsum cliffs and through pristine salt water marshes. Learn about the oyster aquaculture industry and explore untouched beaches. The area is home to bald eagles, willets, plovers, terns and moose. Stop at the beach for a picnic with shipwreck stories and local history.

Next, you’ll take a half day whale watching tour with Oshan Whale Watch. You’ll enjoy the spectacular scenery while watching for whales, seals and eagles. This family has been fishing the local waters for five generations.
