This half-day adventure takes you along one of Cape Breton’s best-kept secrets—a rugged stretch of coastline near Louisbourg where sea spray, twisted spruce, and tidal pools set the scene. The hike isn’t long, but the terrain keeps it interesting, and the views more than earn their keep. You’ll travel through open headlands, wind-swept barrens, and soft mossy trails with plenty of spots to stop, explore, and soak it all in.
We’ll provide a hearty bag lunch so you can settle in at one of the cliffside overlooks or quiet beaches along the way. This is a great option for morning explorers planning to head to the Fortress afterward—it’s just down the road.
Looking to go all in? Ask about upgrading to the full-day experience, which includes accompanied entry to the Fortress of Louisbourg in the afternoon. History and wild beauty, all in one day.
Best for: coastal wanderers, curious explorers, and anyone who loves sea views, wild berries, and a trail with personality.
After booking, you will receive an email with pertinent information, links, or downloads.
