Would you want to visit?
National Geographic yes for sure !!!!
National Geographic Absolutely
...in august
National Geographic love to go hang out with the Trailer Park Boys
Yes, and help you record amazing videos.
Canada is Canada's best kept secret lol
This Little Critic I agree 🍁
Yesss🍁🍁🍁
So true !
False. It's cape Breton.
My mom grew up in Nova Scotia, we live in Montreal now, she always daydreams about how beautiful Nova Scotia was.
Make that trip happen for her ...I'm from nova scotia and it is beautiful...you only have one mother lol
Jonah DeleseLeuc I live on Cape Breton and it’s absolutely amazing
@@prateek7746 the main ones is retail fishing or construction.
It’s beautiful! You have a place to stay in Cape Breton if you ever decide to visit!
Amazing how such a simple sharing of something nice attracts so many idiot trolls. For anyone ever of thinking of visiting I highly recommend. As Alexander Graham Bell once said “I have traveled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.”
Stop giving away all our secrets haha
Love the video.. wish it were longer! Cape Breton is magnificent and has beaches, mountains, pine forests, harbors full of colorful boats, ferries, wild animals and wild blueberries, and Tim Horton's coffee! Also, it's not unusual to see kilted bagpipers making music out on the hills. From the moment you cross into Cape Breton, you can see and feel the difference. There's Canada.. and then there's "New Scotland".. a whole different world!
Canada is a country that have tons of place for people to explore, what you see in this video is only a tiny tip of the iceberg~
Great video about Cape Breton. Nice story about Glenora's Glen Breton Whiskey. The video did not shown much about the iconic Bras d'Or Lakes...but then again a hard to truly experience all of Cape Breton's magic in a single visit.
I live in Cape Breton. For those who are thinking of coming here, just remember that in some of the roads around here the pot holes are the same depth of an actual cooking pot.
Oh no! Now we will all flock there and eat all the lobsters!
STAY THE FOK AWAY FROM OUR LOBSTERS >:c
Nova Scotia has some of the best smoked salmon and scallops.
have to get threw me first ;)
It's actually Cape Breton Island you need to thank! Nova Scotia is just the mainland. 😋
Nat Geo doxes Nova Scotia.
Proud Cape Bretoner here!
Good ol' Nova Scotia. Proud to be a Haligonian! And Canadian!
Nature is good for us. This video is just another example.
Isn't it wonderful! Thanks for watching 💫
My Late Grandad was born In Cumberland NovaScotia He Married my Late Nanna in England had my dad then met up at pier 21 in 1945.
Would love to see more... And i live here...lol.
But seriously, i do love when people discover this province and are open minded. For another less talked about bit of awe: the view from "the lookoff", which overlooks several counties... Also, Grande Pre is gorgeous with its wineries... But my heart is in the city... With a bit of CBI mixed in there...
Been to CBI, it's gorgeous, drove the Cabot Trail.
flon57 rode it on my motorcycle.. Newfoundland is gorgeous as well.
LOOOVE the Cabot Trail!
It ain't no secret now.
Double negatives
Newbs so true
It's the ugly secret
It was never a secret because Its popular here were I live in nova Scotia
I am Somali🇸🇴 by nationality and I would like to visit this island
I miss Canada lived there for 9 years 5 in NS 4 in BC...
Kev Puk which did you prefer?
I only lived in NS for a year but have visited BC a few times.
I agree with being curious of Your comparison preferences between the East and West coasts of "Canada"?
Good place to visit...better place to live
After watching your videos about Canada, I cann't wait to go there
Wow Alistair absolutely stunning. My kind of living. And slow pace you betcha. I would move there in a hot minute. Thanks so much for sharing. It's a wonderful day!!! 🦅😀🌻
Isn't it such a beautiful place? Thanks for watching!
Would have liked to seen more of that Cocoon Tree Bed ;)
Looks fantastic
Nova Scotia is beautiful! Would you want to visit?
In the morning if I could.
That was great but not long enough to do NS justice! So much more that they didn't show.
I'm living here ..❤
how can you live in a big, stressful city like toronto if you have this masterpiece of nature?
... uh ... maybe you need to earn a living?
Put simply.... It's too isolated. There are too few high paying jobs out there compared to TO. Slow pace of life, miserable winters, it's so salty that brand new cars rust out in less than 5 years, pair that with the fact that there's literally barely anything to do except look at the coast line and drink. Eastern Canada is pretty but it is certainly not for everyone.

1:40 wildlife
2:02 cities
The real secret about Cape Breton is New Waterford. It’s like the mutant child that we keep hidden in the basement.
Aww I wanted him to get to Sydney
I heard that they cut that part because not even the subtitles guy could figure out what they were saying
My home! Saw some people I recognize too.
It's kind of an exclusive community, even I only have a great grandmother from there.
Now I wanna move there. So serene. Unfortunately, is a bit pricey
I am Somali🇸🇴 by rationality and I would like to visit this island
Be cateful of racism. I do not want to scare you, but it can be a factor there -- at least it was when I was a kid in the 80s.
You should be fine as a tourist. Living there in certain parts could be problematic.
Nova Scotia looks fun and the food looks even better except I can't eat it I'm allergic to all that good seafood except fish I want to go there sometime!!! And Iceland is also on my list.
We hope you get to visit soon! Thanks for watching!
Wow. In nova scotia the brewery owner will personally give anyone that drives up a tour!
Oiiiiiii This hit close to home!
grew up in Big Brad'or nothing like CB anywhere else.. well maybe Newfoundland hahaha
God I am glad to be Nova Scotian My Cape Breton family
Nat Geo came twice sailing through seal island bridge this year
this is heaven
Right? Would you want to visit?
National Geographic yes !,
2:28 I was expecting this
My mother’s side of the family dates back to 1630s in cape breton. Sadly my grandfathers sister inherited 200 acres and lives in Boston and plans on selling the family farm. If only I had the money
I just watched a travel commercial on the National Geographic TH-cam Channel
Nice ad.
Try Devon Island, Canada. NASA loves driving their Mars rovers around it.
Secret? The skyline trail has just as many people as a Six Flags amusement park. I remember hiking that trail when it truly was a secret. Cape Breton is no secret, it’s exploited via taxation by the government for its beauty.
Best kept secret now for everyone to know now
Where's the secret? Been there 2 out of the last three summers, and would go back in a flash.
Nooo!!! It's only a well-kept secret if it's a secret, damn you!!!
I'm tryna live there one day
Amma go over there and be that hardcore American that let's everyone knows Murica is the best! Thanks for telling me about this place in need of freedom, Nat!
Alastair Humphreys started in Dartmouth not Halifax Nova Scotia - there is even a sign on the nearby ferry terminal saying so and Cape Breton is only a part of Nova Scotia
i live there 😊
That's the GOOD part of it...
Not one mention of the man eating fish monsters that rise form the deep every new moon, and feast on the flesh of any who do not sacrifice to the Cod God, Dagon. Now THAT'S how you keep a secret!
Oh wait.. Dammit.
New Message Cod themselves are just brain dead though
Dagon lol.. that was actually an awesome movie
I live in glace bay nova Scotia
Show the Winter tho
In certain areas they even have their own language! I mean it's still technically English but you wouldn't know it to hear it
Great.. now I want lobster
I remember one particular visit with my dad in Sydney Mines.. he bought a bucket full of lobsters fresh from the fishermen's boat, and cooked them up for the whole neighborhood. What a day that was!
I live hereeeee
Newfoundland is the best kept secret in Canada,
swamp boulders and rocks not even close to maritimes gway witcha bye!!!
Nice short documentary, what about Prince Edward Island most beautiful island in Canada !
Heather Bowlan only people who were breast fed my their father think pei is the most beautiful island in Canada
Steve Irwins long lost son.
I’m one of the lucky people to live there :)) Anybody else?
Umm it's basically Maine,where I live,and you don't need a passport to visit.
Stephen Cody way better than Maine
Unless you are from Cape Breton...then you need a passport..lol Cape Breton is way better than Maine, been there.
Your welcome
Best Secret? If it was you guys for sure wouldn't know
i wanna move, are there comedy clubs?
S Candina via
CANADIAN
who lives in nova Scotia
The people there have a slight Irish accent intertwined?
Taz Begum Mostly Scottish settlers I believe.
@@darrylisaacs6110 - yes, mostly Scottish. But today they all have some Irish in them, and a bit of English as well.
If anyone want to pay me to visit the world then hit me up
CLOROX BLEACH you again? 👍🏻
Hehe well it’s not much of a secret anymore😂
Cape Breton is objectively a sh*te place. Looks beautiful from early September till maybe late October if you are lucky, but not a place to live if you care about the success of your family -- wait for the cold embrace of winter till April. Born, bred, and escaped Sydney River. I'd like to see Nat Geo make a video about the flooding in Sydney, the crippling unemployment, or the intolerance against the Mi'kmaq, or what's left of french culture.
Not to mention rich yuppies seeing videos like this and driving up costs of everything. Great place to visit I guess if you want to do the tourist thing, no reason to live there unless you aspire to be an alcoholic and want to blow all your money on beer then complain that you got no money.
I can't visit
I live there
I personally enjoy BC more.
CargoRay no...before Christ
Boom on put this country in water
Anybody notice the accent
Because of what the healthcare system gets away with... 🤫
No.!! They’ll all want to come here and we’ll be over run by tourists.
Island?
Pat Colbourne Yes, Cape Breton Island.
Alastair Humphreys can you try to speak english?
Pls stop exposing us
Annoying narrator that detracts from the beauty of the region.
That's great, but I bet it is still very noisy from people. Please preserve quiet places around you.
Everyone, please watch my little nature videos. There is no talking in them. Shhh!
All people thanks God thinks guide please.
this is such bull shit , I lived there and its horribly poor . there is no work, so drugs and alcohol were rapid. and they were only nice to you because you were leaving ,I'd never meet such closed off anti social people in. my life.
as long Justin Trudeau is the Prime minister or any Far left Democrat in position, I will never go
ElectroPals LLC
Why not
I don't understand you're point
Pray Unceasingly he just wants to take everyone's rights away
ElectroPals LLC
You're right dude he does but I still don't understand what that has to do with visiting Canadian sights? Don't let the man keep u down bro!
Well, we'll see you in never because the majority of us enjoy left swing politicians.
BORING - Just like so many out lying areas, they have a slower pace of life where the people are more friendly. I'm sure that is not unique to this one place in Canada, and it is certainly not unique to other countries in the world. Can't believe Nat Geo put their name to this. It's nice but not that special.
Have you actually been to CBI? If not, please go and experience it yourself. If you have, well, I guess you do not enjoy natural beauty
I live here in Cape Breton .Whatya really wanna know?
well.. I do like me some Newfie jokes..
