Discover all the park has to offer, from guided hikes to hidden waterfalls, with exclusive experiences led by our expert interpreters.

Our Cape Breton Highlands National Park guides don't just show you around—they transform an ordinary hike into an unforgettable journey through Cape Breton Island's living tapestry of Mi’kmaw, Acadian, and Gaelic traditions, rugged coastal wilderness, and the powerful rhythms of our maritime heritage.
