Overview

Hook your smartphone up to your vehicle's stereo and listen to a tour guide while you drive!

Follow the famous Cabot Trail, one of the most scenic roadways in the world! It’s actually a big loop, and we’ll be traveling counter-clockwise around it in order to get the best views.

In all the Cabot Trail runs 298 kilometers, or 185 miles, long but there are plenty of stops along the way. You can take in the view, shop for one-of-a-kind crafts, hike, golf on some of Canada’s best courses, go on a whale watching adventure or simply indulge your taste for freshly caught lobster.

With no time constraints, enjoy the freedom to stop anywhere and take your time exploring. Tour guide commentary will play automatically as you drive, using an easy to navigate live GPS map. No data is used during the tour.

This audio guide will keep your group entertained & engaged along the way. Each point of interest also has a fun multiple-choice trivia question about the sights.
