Cabot Trail: Private Scenic Highlights Tour

Cruise along the western side of the Cabot Trail, often considered the most scenic stretch of the route, but experience it through the eyes of a local. Travel through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, past quiet fishing villages and along the world-renowned Margaree River, while your guide shares the stories, history, and culture that shaped this coastline. Stop at working wharfs, hidden lookouts, and beautiful beaches that many visitors drive past without ever noticing. Learn about the people who built their lives here, the fishing traditions that still thrive, and the landscapes that define Cape Breton. This tour is ideal for guests who want more than just a scenic drive.
