If you’re arriving by cruise ship, you’ll be picked up from your ship’s deck in the morning and taken to Cape Breton’s famous Cabot Trail as the default option. You are guaranteed an experienced local driver and guide, and drivers will make multiple stops so you can step off the vehicle, enjoy the views and take photos along the way. You can also speak with your driver to change the route if you’d prefer to visit a different place.
You’ll travel in a modern fleet that features some of the newest vehicles in the region. This is a private tour, not a shared tour; for groups of more than six people, please contact the operator so a larger vehicle can be arranged for an extra cost. The tour is run by a fully licensed local operator, and they have operated in Cape Breton since 1985 — the longest history of any tour company on the island. You are guaranteed to be returned to the ship around 60 minutes before your sailing time.
