Cape Smokey’s wild and pristine landscape is the perfect location for a wide variety of activities besides its brilliant downhill skiing and there’s lots to do here not just in winter but all year round.
On the snow, besides downhill skiing and boarding, those activities range from snowmobiling and snowshoeing to cross-country skiing.
Water, both the fresh and salty kinds, is a big part of the Cape Smokey experience with water sports like surfing and paddleboarding when the conditions allow. Whale-watching tours are also organised.
You’ll also find hiking trails suited to all levels of difficulty, with walks on the beautiful local beaches or to the region’s many waterfalls particularly popular. There are also exceptional opportunities for mountain biking, and countless other outdoor adventures to explore. The lack of light pollution here also makes it a great location for surveying the night skies.
There are also some interesting indoor options available too, around the in Ingonish area including everything from trying your hand at a Gelato Making Workshop to having a go at the Soap making workshop with local goat’s milk they key ingredient!
