Nova Scotia’s famous Cabot Trail is considered one of the best road trips in the world! This 3 day itinerary takes you around the Cabot Trail, along with a few side trips so you can see the most of what the beautiful island of Cape Breton has to offer! Here are a few things to note 👇
🔄 The itinerary can be reversed depending on whether you want to drive the Cabot Trail counterclockwise vs clockwise.
🛻The dirt road to Cape Clear gets quite rough, so would recommend driving an SUV or truck. If you’re driving a car, there are tour options to get there in a side by side or Jeep.
🏞️ There are many beautiful viewpoints so expect to make lots of stops! There are also many more hikes to choose from for all different levels.
☀️ Summer and early fall are when most things are open. Take into consideration some things will be closed if visiting at other times.
🍁 Cape Breton is known for its beautiful fall foliage, so be sure to book accommodations ahead of time during peak fall colours!
*The Cape Breton Highlands National Park drone footage used in the reel was shot legally with a Parks Canada permit.
