If you want to do a bit of island-hopping Atlantic Canada-style, you can take one of two ferries from North Sydney to Newfoundland. The ferry to Port aux Basques on Newfoundland's south-west coast is the shorter of two and runs daily throughout the year. The ferry to Argentia is much longer about 14 hours and only runs in the summer, three times a week. Ferry services are provided by Marine Atlantic (http://www.marine-atlantic.ca).
