Our 7 Tips for Visiting Cape Breton!

I’m going to Cape Breton in a week. I’m from California. 13 hours by plane, three layovers. But, man, am I excited.

I live in Pennsylvania and this is really a hike for us, two day of long long driving each day, just to get to Baddeck NS. We always say it took us 40+ years to get there . Planned this trip for years but never made it until June of 2018. I really wish we would have gone earlier when the kids were in their teens. It is well worth it. It is an underrated destination. I can see why because it is very difficult to get to even for Canadians. I'll be 75 if we make it back in 2022 like we plan. Wish l could hike and explore more but health cares reasons prevent it. Got to make it to Nova Scotia one more time. Go now don't wait.

That's a gr8 video. That park is my favorite. Just off the trail, less people, it's remote ...

Great tips and thanks for sharing! Great video!

Great tips. So much to see and do on Cape Breton Island.

Great Video! Love it!

One of our highlights on our second trip was to visit Meat Cove, beautiful place. Yeah, been twice, love to go back again and spend more time and ferry over to Newfoundland also.

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I am planing a trip east this summer.

Thanks a ton for a great video!

Very helpful video, thanks so much!

Thank you for the tips

Cape Breton in September is awesome, October can get a little chilly in an RV. We did Nova Scotia in an RV in mid-to-end September which was pretty epic. October would have been to cold in an RV from our point of view, but still an awesome time of the year. Target for this year was March to get some snow and winter, but with Covid we can´t fly over even though we have property now.

Wonderful place, thanks for your useful information 👌👌👌

Hey! Thank u for your advice on visiting Cape Breton. I will be travelling from Belgium and start our roadtrip in Montreal to Cape Breton, August September. Look forward to it! 😊

I’m currently in the planning stages of an RV roadtrip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland for summer (now thinking early fall because of your mentioning) of 2024. It’ll be a LONG road trip from Northern California with a few friends and their RVs joining us along the way. I had originally thought only of Nova Scotia, but learning so much about NL I know it has to be included. We’re all 64, retired or about to be, and don’t want to put these bucket list items off any longer. It’s just so hard to know what sights to include or not. We’re all in good shape, love to walk/hike. I’ll be checking your channel for more videos to help me plan. I loved this video as you got right to the point in each tip. Well done, thanks!

Excellent video

Great video!

thanks for the video! it's crazy how many of us cape bretoners spend our lives here, in towns like sydney or glace bay but never get to see some of the sights CB has to offer. i'm glad you enjoyed your stay! Margaree, cheticamp, Ingonish and Louisbourg are MUST see's by the way!

Thank you. I know this is an older video but am heading there in July. We were going to skip the fort but now we might have to try to make it there.

Thank you for the information. I am planning a trip there.
