My family and I took an epic journey to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia to visit the worldfamous Cabot Trail. We spent one week in MidJuly of 2023. It was an amazing experience and I'm already thinking about our return visit. We booked our flights through Expedia.com 3 months in advance. We flew out of Montreal into Halifax using Flair Airlines and returned with them too.

We are NOT sponsored by any of the featured businesses and are simply sharing information out of our experience. We hope it guides your research as you plan your Nova Scotian adventure. We definitely recommend you come check out this beautiful and unique place.
