Exploring the World-Famous Cabot Trail & Cape Breton Island: a Travel Guide

Welcome to Nova Scotia's (maybe even all of Canada's) most iconic road trip. Cape Breton Island and the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia BLEW ME AWAY. This part of Canada is widely acclaimed for its breathtaking natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

We explored Cape Breton Island for 3 days and mostly followed the Cabot Trail. In this video we share notable stops, like the Skyline Trail, Egypt Falls, Inverness, places that look like Scotland, adorable maritime fishing villages, and more.

We did the skyline just yesterday!! IT was so amazing!!!!

The reason why im here: I came across the World map on my phone just bc im bored & I immediately became fascinated and shocked by all the places I’ve never seen or heard of in my life. Went to the edge of North America and saw Cape Brenton & looked it up. BEAUTIFUL PLACE. I got so many places, Islands & Bodies of water to do research on now. This was my first stop, Thank you.

Love your tour around Nova Scotia & Cape Breton. What time of year were you there? The weather looks great and the crowds seem pretty light. You do a great job describing where you are, places you visit and where you stay, thanks! We hope to visit there in 2024.

Love your videos! I am wondering what routes you took from Lunenberg and then on to Cape Breton?? We have three nights planned in Halifax and heading down to Peggys Cove and Lunenberg. From there going to Cape Breton.

Layers after Layers Compressed upwards and then seems to drop and also falls towards where they ( Sediments) came from.😊/Thanks for Caring.😂❤😊

Thanks for showcasing Cape Breton. My dad and his side of the family are from Bras D'or (pronounced Bra-door) and we visit our family in Sydney quite often.

So, just to point out that your comparison to ireland/scotland is apt. The three used to be right next to each other when the world was pangea and its literally all the same mountain chain.
