Named after the famous explorer John Cabot (an Italian, Giovanni Caboto, who sailed under an English flag), the Cabot Trail is one of the world’s most beautiful bicycle routes. It’s located on splendid Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. The Cabot Trail winds through glorious valleys and
along an expansive coast as it traverses the Highlands. Pods of whales can be seen just off the coast, while bald eagles soar on the breezes.
Let us show you this gorgeous place as it should be experienced — by bicycle! You start and finish the tour in Baddeck, the place where Alexander Graham Bell wanted to spend the rest of his life. From there you cycle clockwise around the trail through the Margaree Valley, Chéticamp, Pleasant Bay and Ingonish.
You also have the opportunity to go whale watching (weather permitting), hike the Cape Breton Highlands, dine on fresh seafood, and relax after incredible days in the saddle. For those wishing to get in a round of golf, that can be arranged, too: The Highland Links golf course was recently ranked as the best golf course in Canada and one of the top 100 courses in the world.
