Highland Village & Baddeck Bell Museum Shore Excursion

Explore by van with a guide on a shared tour or a private outing for your party.

Itinerary

The surrounding area tour of Sydney involves touring the scenic Bras d'or Lakes to Christmas Island, Iona, Little Narrows Cable Ferry, and Baddeck. Before Iona, we could stop at the Christmas Island post office, where some tourists enjoy to send post cards from Christmas Island to friends and loved ones. As we travel along the Bras d'or Lakes, we will visit the Nova Scotia Highland Village of Iona, which depicts the early life and culture of the Scottish settlers who came there from the Barra region of Scotland.​

From Iona you will travel along the Bras d'Or lakes and then take a short ferry ride at Ross's ferry as you proceed onto the scenic village of Baddeck. In Baddeck, if you wish, you may tour the museum of the inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, and view the first telephone he created along with many other items. Baddeck also features a lovely waterfront to take a walk and numerous gift shops to visit.

Usually, we have lunch in Baddeck (if needed) at a restaurant specializing in seafood and other traditional favorites. We'll have you back in time for your next destination.
