Found along the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, our resort is the perfect home base for outdoor enthusiasts looking to create lifelong memories. From ocean adventures to scenic hikes, there’s no shortage of things to do when staying in one of our Cabot Trail accommodations.
Things to Do on Cape Breton Island During the Summer
Cape Breton Island comes to life in the summer. During your stay, take advantage of both our on-site activities and area adventures to truly experience all this region has to offer.
- One of the most popular summer activities is whale watching. We recommend both Keltic Express Zodiac Adventures and Oshan Whale Tours, which offer a number of tours daily.
- Another popular animal-focused outing is going on a puffin tour. Donelda’s Puffin Bout Tours. Your adventure to Bird Island, where you can get a glimpse of the Atlantic puffins, will be led by “the Puffin Lady.”
- Lace up your hiking boots and go exploring. There are a number of incredible hiking trails to explore, including ones found inside the French River Wilderness and Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Explore on your own, or sign up for one of our guided hikes.
- Go for a paddling excursion. We offer both single and double kayaks as well as canoe rentals that are perfect for exploring Indian Brook and Church Pond. You can also rent a stand-up paddleboard.
- Wander where Church Pond meets our private beach and enjoy a sunset walk, look for shells, or relax by an evening bonfire.
- Leave a whole day open to drive the Cabot Trail. The scenic drive winds through mountain overlooks, coastal villages, and look-offs throughout Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
