Begin your journey with a scenic drive to Glace Bay and visit the Cape Breton Miners Museum. Learn about the island’s rich coal-mining history, the lives of local mining families, and the important role the industry played in shaping Cape Breton communities. Depending on availability, have the opportunity to experience the underground mine tour.

Continue toward Louisbourg along a beautiful coastal route before arriving at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. Step back into the 18th century as you explore reconstructed streets, historic buildings, military fortifications, and exhibits that bring the former French colonial settlement to life. Learn about soldiers, merchants, fishermen, and families who once lived in Louisbourg.

Enjoy time for sightseeing, photography, local stories, and exploring both attractions at a relaxed pace before returning to Sydney.
