Cabot Trail
Explore the legendary Cabot Trail — 298 km of cliff-hugging turns, ocean vistas and Highland culture that thrills every sense in any season.
It’s considered one of the world’s finest drives, but this coastal region demands much more than a drive-through. The Cabot Trail weaves through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, climbs forested plateaus and connects fishing hamlets alive with Acadian, Mi'kmaw and Gaelic stories. Plan several days to fully explore whale-watching coastlines, mountain hiking trails, artisan studios and authentic local seafood experiences that make this one of the world's most captivating destinations.
