“Best of Nova Scotia - Including Must See Cape Breton”
Gather your family or friends to embark on a customized touring of the main highlight sites of Nova Scotia including a journey from Halifax to the stunning Cape Breton Island and its iconic Cabot Trail.
This small-group tour offers a perfect mix of breathtaking sights, unique experiences, and seamless travel. Settle into Halifax for a few days and get your fill of the local history and main sights before traveling to Cape Breton.
In Halifax you will enjoy the local highlights Citadel Hill, discover the connection to the Titanic & visit the Fairview Lawn cemetery, learn various historical facts including the 1917 Halifax Explosion. Enjoy a local fishing village just across the harbour before returning back to your accommodations to relax or enjoy the evening nightlife on your own.
One day we will travel from Halifax to the Annapolis Valley to experience the high and low tides, visit a winery, cidery and distillery and just taking in the beauty that is the Valley before retuning back to Halifax for the evening. Another day we will have a coastal touring on the South Shore to Lunenburg (World UNESO Site), Mahone Bay (Oak Island .. Could it Be !?) and the famous Peggy's Cove.
Once we hit the road to Cape Breton, our home base for a couple of days will be Baddeck, the gateway to the Cabot Trail and home to the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site. Take time to explore the museum, wander the quaint town, or enjoy a boat tour. Highlights include visiting the partially reconstructed 18th-century French fortress at Louisbourg and a full day exploring the Cabot Trail’s scenic views, trails, and artisan shops. With a flexible itinerary tailored to your interests, this adventure promises discovery and unforgettable memories!
