Cape Breton is the most beautiful island in the world according to Conde Naste's Traveller Magazine and we think that the best way to experience it is on foot. We'll pick you up in Sydney and whisk you away to the wilderness of Cape Breton and the Highland National Park. Here, scenic paths thread along cliffs with breathtaking vistas of ocean, coast and islands. Often we'll see moose, bald eagles, and whales as we hike. A Whale Watching cruise is an option during this adventure. At days end, we'll unwind at some of the best lodging in the area including the luxurious Keltic Lodge, perched on a peninsula jutting into the Atlantic.
Our Cape Breton Highlands Hiking Adventure is a moderate to challenging tour. Our hikes are approximately 5 to 14 miles per day, with choices some days of a moderate or more difficult hike.
Our guests come from all parts of the world, with 65 % of our guests originating from the United States, 30% from Canada, and the remainder from outside North America.

We want our guests to enjoy the best inns the area has to offer. We look for charm, interesting history, friendliness, great food and a beautiful setting. Some of our inns are luxurious with gourmet menus, others are smaller, historic, family-run inns serving home-style meals often served with food fresh from the garden.
