  Matt did a fantastic job sharing some history of Cape Breton on our Hidden Gems tour. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The gallery where we met up with him was excellent as well!

  This was a great way to spend the day. All the boxes were ticked, adventure, learning history and culture and current ways of life, the amazing views, safety, and laughter. Snowshoeing the maple syrup farm was so much fun! We took so many photos. We highly recommend you make this a part of your Cape Breton trip.

  

• Highly customizable & intimate tour through Margaree Valley

  This tour was INCREDIBLE. I actually live on the island and have for 12 years, but I learned and saw so much about Cape Breton that I had never known before. This was a winter tour and we snowshoed to the sap lines at the Margaree Valley Maple farm and had a tasting session after! We also stopped at the Normaway Inn to hang out and feed horses, an adorable donkey and see their Highland Cattle. I can’t say enough good things about the guides - our group was larger so we had two jeeps cruising around in tandem. The level is customization they can offer depending on your group is impressive and unlike anything else on this island. Their access to incredible places is unmatched. Absolutely worth the cost, time and travel. Probably will be a highlight of your trip to the island.

  

  

• Cape Breton Jeep Adventure

  What a remarkable day of adventure exploring the wonders of the island! If you want to be awed by the beauty of nature far away from the cookie-cutter tourist spots, this is the way to go. We took it all in - mountains, valleys, lakes, streams, and the beautiful colors of fall - while learning about the history of Cape Breton. Definitely the highlight of our New England/Canada cruise and we were disappointed to see the day come to an end. Pictures do not do justice to the beauty you can only truly appreciate in person. What a memory, thank you Mac!

  

  

  

• Cape Breton Back Country Adventures – Wonderful Experience!

  My friends and I had the pleasure of taking a six-hour tour with Cape Breton Back Country Adventures, and it was simply wonderful. Our guide (and co-owner), Mac, was a wonderful host - personable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories about the history and people of this beautiful corner of Nova Scotia. His family has lived here for generations, and you can feel that deep connection come through in the way he brings the landscape to life. The Jeep we toured in was extremely comfortable, and we made plenty of stops to take in the views, snap photos, and explore. Highlights included a relaxing lunch break at The Dancing Goat and a visit to a fish hatchery absolutely teeming with salmon and trout - an unexpected and memorable stop. From start to finish, the scenery was breathtaking and Mac’s storytelling made it all the more special. If you want to experience Cape Breton beyond the usual routes and get a true sense of its history and beauty, this tour is perfect.

  Fantastic time with mac.the family history was amazing to listen to. We had left our car fob at hotel in Cheticamp so no way to start or lock rental car. He went above and beyond to get us back to get fob during our amazing tour which lasted over 4 hours. He was a fantastic tour guide. Our best experience during our 2 week trip to east coast

  

• Cape Breton Celtic Colours

  We went to Cape Breton for the Celtic Colours festival. We stayed in Sydney at the Membertou Hampton. I’d recommend it because of cleanliness, comfortable beds, exercise facilities, pool, complimentary breakfast buffet (great), popcorn in the evenings and occasionally soup, too. It’s connected to a top notch restaurant. I’d always recommend a day of traveling the Cabot Trail. The views are breathtaking. Amazing fall colors and ocean views.Lots of little shops and restaurants along the way. The Gaelic College is worth visiting. If you’re interested in history, Louisburg is worth your time. Don’t miss the Alexander Graham Bell museum in Baddeck. If you visit during the festival, it is busier, but there are concerts all over the island with Celtic music, bagpipes, and step dancing. There are many cultural activities scheduled at that time. I learned how to needle felt! If planning to visit during the festival, get on the email list to take full advantage of the selection of venues and activities. Some sell out quickly, so it’s important to know when they open up for purchasing. Also be aware that the festival occurs over the Canadian Thanksgiving.

• Beautiful scenery, history and a fun ride with a great guide!

  A must do tour in Cape Breton. Mac is so knowledgeable of the region. Great info into the history, stories and environment of the region! He puts you at ease, can chat about anything and an all around nice person! He really wants you to fall in love with Cape Breton and all this beautiful piece of the maritimes has to offer. Do yourself a favor and book with Mac for an unforgettable day. Cheers!

Be sure to be ready for some incredible pics. His unique perspective and indepth knowledge of the history and lore of Cape Breton makes for a truly enriched jeep tour. I highly recommend Cape Breton Backcountry Adventures to complete your overall experience of Cape Breton!
