You can also take a bus - either a tour bus or a regularly scheduled bus like the  Acadian Lines buses which run back and forth from Halifax every day.

If air travel is your choice, Sydney Airport will no doubt be able to accommodate you. There are several flights a day into and out of Sydney and connections for other Canadian cities as well as international destinations are good.

Some distances to Cape Breton:

Cape Breton is an Island of many faces...ocean, lakes, highlands, valleys, plateaus, rolling farmland and wilderness forests. Is it any wonder we have trouble predicting the weather?

The fall, however, is the most predictable of our seasons and it is arguably the most consistently pleasant. In October particularly, the skies are almost always clear, sunshine is abundant and the scenery is...well, indescribable. Temperatures in October range from about 5 to15 degrees Celsius in the daytime, depending on where you are (it is, of course cooler near the ocean than it is inland) and it has been known to go below freezing overnight. Warm clothing is strongly advised, and if you plan to camp, you should consider taking along a heater of some sort.
