- My family and I took an epic journey to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia to visit the world-famous Cabot Trail. We spent one week in Mid-July of 2023. It was an amazing experience and I'm already thinking about our return visit. We booked our flights through Expedia.com 3 months in advance. We flew out of Montreal into Halifax using Flair Airlines and returned with them too.
We are NOT sponsored by any of the featured businesses and are simply sharing information out of our experience. We hope it guides your research as you plan your Nova Scotian adventure. We definitely recommend you come check out this beautiful and unique place.

Great video! Keep up the great work.
I appreciate the encouragement! Thank you.
11:09 just came back from Cabot Trail 2 weeks ago. This was by far, my favourite lookout spot.
I hope you had a great trip! We wish we spent more time on that side of the CT. This lookout spot is iconic and not to be missed.
Sorry for the weather, I’m from here and summer 2023 sucked but September is looking up and the fall colours will blow your mind
You picked the rockiest beach. Neil’s Harbour beach is incredible ❤❤
Wow this is somethign I can not imagine experiencing in person, thanks so,so much, you`ve made my day.Nova Scotia is so lovely and the blue waters just so inviting. I`m looking forward to future videos, enjoying your future videos, and following your adventures through your lenses.
Thank you @rikayangu3833! I hope you get the chance to go and see it for yourself. I love making these types of videos and traveling to see the world. Thanks for coming along for the ride. Cheers!
Great Adventure 🚐🚴♂️😎.. You highlighted a lot.. my plan is to bike ride the Cabot Trail.. 🙂
Thank you for your comment. I bet you will get one amazing workout biking the Cabot Trail but it’s probably a better way to see and explore all there is to offer. Enjoy your trip!
@@divineeyeadventures Thank You.. I’ll most likely Drive it first with my wife.. she’s not much of a cyclist.. the terrain reminds me of Ireland 🇮🇪
It’s sad that you missed out on Route 19 through Port Hood, Judique & Troy. It’s simply breathtaking. Also the sunset on the western side of Cape Breton is like no other. Thank you the beautiful & amazing video. I will returning this summer.
We hope to come back and will have to add Route 19. We hope to spend more time on the western side of the Cape. Enjoy your trip this summer! Thanks for your comment.
Good morning Sir Toto 🌳🏖️stunning pLaces and spaces
Great video and thanks for the tips on the trails and restaurants. Renting an Airbnb in Margaree valley this September for a few days to do the trails and the complete drive. This is my favourite place in the Maritimes by far. There’s an excellent bakery called Aucoin bakery in Cheticamp if you’re back that way again. New Brunswick also has some great trails like the Fundy park and the Fundy parkway. Thanks again
Thank you for your comment and suggestions! When, not if, we come back, I will try Aucoin bakery and will have to check our more of New Brunswick too. The last time we came to Nova Scotia, we stayed in Wolfville near the Bay of Fundy and were fascinated by changing tides & landscape in that region. I hope you have a wonderful trip in September. Cheers and thanks for visiting the channel!
amazing video. Thank you for sharing. subd & 👍222
Thank you so much! Welcome aboard!
Très bel endroit fait tout le tour
je suis d'accord. Merci de votre visite!
You should have gone up to Bay St, Lawrence you wouldn't have been disappointed.!!!
There’s so much to explore up that way. We want to come back specifically to do that. Hopefully soon. Thanks for your comment!
good video we plan on taking the cabot trial next summer maybe camping,,,but u got me thinking air bb we will be driving our suv to this location from ontario..we love our road trips
Thank you for the comment! Camping would also be great. Let us know what you decide. In terms of road trips, this is one of the best!
The beach with the caves is beautiful.
It was a pleasant surprise to discover just walking along the waterfront.
@@divineeyeadventures Hi. Beautiful video! May I know where it is exactly at 2:48? Thanks in advance.
@@Worldtraveller624 Thank you for your comment! We stayed at the Sea Parrot Ocean View Manor. We walked down to the beachfront there, took a left turn (heading north) and walked about 1-hour along the beach until we stumbled upon the rock formations. I suspect that it is very close to the Clucking Hen bakery.
Or Bah deck 😉, you missed stopping at Margaree Harbour Beach it's a beauty , Margaree Valley with the Margaree River ,The Dancing Goat in NE Margaree, and down the coast to Inverness, Mabou, you will have to come back for sure 👍👍.
I really wish we weren't feeling lousy the first couple of days of our trip. Plus the weather was rainy. We wanted to check out more of that side of the island. We definitely hope to come back again and simply love Nova Scotia!
Beautiful video
Thank you!
Come back again😊
Baddeck is pronounce Ba Deck
Happy you enjoyed our island.....you pronounced Baddeck wrong lol but we forgive you
Thank you and thank you!
What month were you there? Thank you.
We went in July. We were there from the 10th -17th.
You must have heard this misinformation from someone in Baddeck (pronounced ba- deck) there are numerous grocery stores in small communities and fantastic restaurants, and take outs but it is true gas stations are scarce, keep your tank at half and you should be ok
Thanks for your comments. You live in a beautiful part of the world! I agree about the fantastic restaurants. I had a harder time finding grocery stores. Feel free to share a couple of places that viewers can go to when they are at CB
