While staying in the Cheticamp area of Cape Breton recently, I decided that one of the things I…read morereally wanted to do was go on a trail ride. Luckily for me, Little Pond Stables was only minutes away. Little Pond Stables offer a few options for horseback rides. We opted for the $30 half hour ride so that we could still fit in a beach day, and the ride took us through a wooded trail. You can also go for hour or hour and a half long options, and there are shorter pony rides available for kids. The longer rides include a visit to the beach, which I'll definitely opt for next time. July and August are walking rides only, so I'd love to visit again in the fall. If you've been on a trail ride before you know that it's pretty easy - these horses are well-trained and know exactly what to do, so there's no need to be nervous. We didn't make reservations, but if you're with a group you'd probably be best off to do so.

Such a Masterpiece by God :) All you need is: a pair of good shoes, a strong and light walking stick. It serves 2 purposes: 1. helps you to walk of course 2. It is a weapon , in case you witness any wild animal (jungle is deep) & bear are commonly spotted at daytime Plan to spend some time there at the viewpoint, you won't be able to come back any soon anyway. It's mesmerising! Just carry water with you. Start the trail from the bottom of the Keltic lodge, where there is parking for around 30 cars. The best time to do the trail is the morning after sunrise. There is a circular path for trail start moving to your right , which is more beautiful and shorter path. The path is rocky so you can't take any bikes or baby buggy.

BEST WHALE WATCHING - EVER!!…read more From the moment we arrived the owners and staff were welcoming and friendly. John came over from a bench and talked at length about the fishing that takes place out of the harbor. Quentin was our Captain on the trip. The zodiac boat holds about 10 people and it was a fun bumpy ride up the coast. After about 20 minutes we began searching for whales. 10 minutes later we saw our first Pilot whales. Within minutes, Captain Q had maneuvered to within a 100 yards of the pod and killed the engine. The entire mass of whales slowly approached us and before long we were right in the middle of the pod! AMAZING, we had whales completely around us for over an hour! Some came right next to the boat, not even concerned that we were there. The ride back was much closer to the beautiful mountains and cliffs along this side of the island. We slowed down to see Seals and eagles. It was just the best experience for our family. Staff even watched our 5 mo. old Labradoodle while were were on the tour!

The Captain knew exactly where the pilot whales were and we got to just drift for over an hour and watch dozens of wales swim around the boat. We got to go out (about 8 of us) in the zodiac which, according to whale watching sites, is better for the whales then a bigger boat. The whole time, we were the only whale-watching boat in sight.
