Maple Adventure

[ OVERVIEW ]

Sweeten up your Cabot Trail experience on the Maple Adventure, a seasonal Jeep tour through the beautiful Margaree Valley that celebrates one of Cape Breton’s most cherished traditions. This private guided experience blends scenic on road and off road Jeep travel with local storytelling, winter or early spring landscapes, and a hands on maple syrup experience.

Your adventure begins with a guided Jeep tour through the Margaree Valley, where your Cape Breton Backcountry Adventures guide shares stories of the region’s rich history, wildlife, fishing culture, and stunning landscapes. Midway through the tour, guests stop at Margaree Maple for a guided walk through the maple grove. Depending on conditions, this may include a short hike or snowshoe through the sugar bush, where you’ll learn how maple syrup is made before enjoying a syrup tasting.

This experience is a relaxed and engaging way to explore the Cabot Trail region while connecting with local food traditions and seasonal landscapes.
