10 Things to Experience On Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island

10 Things to Experience On Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island

1) Mountaintop and seaside hiking trails. The Cape Breton
Highlands National Park has both easy and rugged trails for both
the casual and ambitious hikers. You can hire a hiking tour or
just strike out on your own to enjoy the serene and beautiful
scenery of the region.

2) Sea Kayaking - hiring a tour guide can provide you with
equipment and experience to better encounter the wildlife and
rugged scenery of the coast of Cape Breton Island. Depending on
where you hire your tour, you can see bald eagles, cormorants,
guillemots, pilot whales, a minke. You can find sea kayaking
tours from Cheticamp, Cape North, Baddeck, Ingonish, or
Louisbourg and places in between.

3) Spend an afternoon in Baddeck, at the Alexander Graham Bell
Museum overlooking scenic Bras d' Or Lake. Mr. Bell made his
summer home in Baddeck, and the museum houses many of his lesser
known, but highly intriguing projects. His hydrofoil, his
fascination with tetrahedrons, and many other intriguing things
are in the world-class museum for you to discover. 4) Dust off
your kilt and don your dancing shoes. Cape Breton is full of
Celtic colors and tunes. If you're driving through town and see
home-made signs that say "Ceili Tonight" it might be worth
stopping for a spontaneous sampling of Celtic culture.
Otherwise, you can also plan your Ceili (pronounced Kay-Lee)
experience by checking local tourist bureaus for feature events.
In October, the entire island is abuzz with the Celtic Colours
International Festival, the largest celebration of its kind in
North American, but you'll also find smaller events at other
times of the year. 5) Scuba diving around Cape Breton Island.
Literally hundreds of shipwrecks litter the ocean floor along
Cape Breton Island. In fact, since 1597, more than one thousand
shipwrecks have been recorded along Cape Breton Island's coast.
For the most rewarding diving, consider St. Ann's Bay to St.
Paul Island. 6) Descend down into a coal mine beneath the ocean
floor in an underground tour of the Ocean Deeps Colliery Your
guides for the underground excursion are retired coal miners who
will help you imagine making your daily living in dark quarters
beneath the ocean floor. Located about one mile from downtown
Glace Bay on Cape Breton Island.

7) Hit the beach and bum around. The beaches of Cape Breton
Island can be small and isolated, or large and packed with
people - or any combination in between. If you've seen on Cape
Breton beach, you have NOT seen them all. So, if beaches are one
of your interests, you may want to consider a sampling of Cape
Breton's beaches and find out which ones suit you the best for
your vacationing state of mind, and your personal travelling
style.

Visit the Fortress Louisbourg. Spend your time wandering
freely through a wonderfully restored centuries-old Acadian
village. Staff at the fortress are dressed in clothing from the
period, and restaurants on site serve food from the era. It's a
delightful step-back in time at North America's LIVE largest
historic reconstruction on the east coast of Cape Breton Island.
9) Hit the road (or the mountains) on your bicycle. Cape
Breton's scenery has been embraced by bikers worldwide, and Cape
Breton Island officials have greeted them with arms wide open.
Several wonderful biking trails (cycling and mountain biking)
are available across the entire Cape Breton Island. Local
chambers of commerce should have ample information about their
specific locales trail system and related service providers.

10) Whale watching tours from Cape Breton Island will not only
give you a chance to see the large graceful creatures, but
you'll also likely have a fair shot at seeing white dolphins,
seals, leatherback turtles, and native birds. On portion of Cape
Breton boasts a 95% success rate in whale sightings, and some
tours will give you a certificate for another free excursion if
you a whale isn't sighted (or perhaps that's just in Tiverton).
Some tours use Zodiac boats, others use schooners, and some are
via kayak. Cape Breton has plenty of options for the aspiring
whale watcher.
