Explore this breathtaking island on a full-day excursion that highlights the area's history and culture. This land echoes with tales of generations where music, art, humor, cuisine, and stories have been passed down over hundreds of years.
Travel through Sydney to see the city highlights en route to the picturesque countryside. See the world's largest fiddle and hear how it was built, and visit the Iona Highland Village, where animators paint a vivid picture of life in the 1700s.
Sample oatcakes still made from original recipes brought from Scotland.
Leaving Sydney, you will skirt Membertou Heritage Park en route to the foothills of the Cabot Trail and discover that the Mi'kmaq culture here continues to thrive and inspire.
Enjoy free time to purchase lunch (at your own expense) or shop in Baddeck, whose most famous resident was Alexander Graham Bell -- inventor of the telephone. You can visit the museum dedicated to his life and inventions (at your own expense) or stroll the village boardwalk along the serene Bras d'Or Lakes.
Stop for photos high above St Ann's Bay, offering expansive views of the Cape Breton Highlands and the Atlantic Ocean.
