Eskasoni Cultural Journeys
From May 15, 2025 to October 31, 2025
Pjila’si!
Nestled along the Bras d’Or Lake in Cape Breton’s rolling heartlands – where the highlands meet the lowlands – there’s history, culture, and beauty waiting to be discovered. There is a tremendously vibrant cultural heart in this region, beating with the drums of the Scottish who settled the land of the Mi’kmaq who were here before.
Discover authentic Mi’kmaw culture along our picturesque 2.4 km trail on Goat Island in Eskasoni. A true acknowledgement of the life of the Mi’kmaq, historically and modern day, we invite visitors to share in a unique story while preserving our First People’s culture.
Take a guided tour to immerse yourself into Mi’kmaq life along the trail, learn about natural medicines of Unama’ki from a passionate interpreter on our Medicine Walk Tour, paddle the scenic waters on a guided Kayak tour of Goat Island, and experience the authentic stories and rich history of the Mi’kmaw people at Goat Island through the Storied Island Trail tour. Private and group tours available; self-guided tour is also available.
