Amazing experience witnessing nature’s wonder. We came in early at low tide, walked the ocean floor and then had fun seeing the water rise. It comes in real fast.

It is easy access to parking lots and great spacing up front for campers. Getting through the entrance, buy tickets ahead, makes it quicker. Beautiful, well kept park. The staff are all so friendly, helpful and informative. Take the shuttle to the stairs and observation area, makes it easier especially for us not so young people ! You have to make 2 visits, for low and high tides, the changes are beyond words. Enjoy

This is a unique experience and our family enjoyed it! It is a beautiful park and my children enjoyed the play structure and outdoor games while we waited for the tide to change.
Michelle_D, Jul 2026
It is a very neat experience to walk on the ocean floor. Then see the water come up where you just walked.

We spent a few extremely pleasant hours at Hopewell Rocks. Walking the ocean floor was so impressive and one of my trip highlights. We went early in the morning and almost felt we had the ocean to ourselves. The Bay of Fundy is spectacular and well worth the visit!

Don’t take your shoes off, it’s is too rocky. We loved our time. It was worth it for us to take the shuttle.
Karla_G, Jun 2026
This is a Must See Stop! Fantastic looking rock formations. Walking amongst these giant rock formations gave me the feeling of walking in another time. Awesomeness

Well worthwhile. Make sure to check tide times before visiting. The 2-day pass is a great way to see both the high and low tides.
Moira_M, Oct 2025
It is a bit of a hike from the welcome centre to the steps going down to the ocean floor - maybe 15 minutes. There is a shuttle available for $2 each way, but my sister and I (both seniors) enjoyed the walk. It is worthwhile seeing the rocks at both high tide and low tide. This is a site not to be missed.
richard_l, Oct 2025
I am so glad that we had an opportunity to see the tides on the Bay of Fundy. We timed it so that we were able to walk down on the ocean floor. I wish the park had longer hours, so that we could see the Rocks at high tide.
I also was surprised that the employees didn't know much about the tidal bore that we were able to observe in downtown Moncton.

Hopewell Rock is a phenomenal experience. A couple of things to know: Viator voucher is super easy - you pull up the voucher go to the entrance of Hopewell Park and they give you a receipt which is your tickets for 2 days of admission. Check the time of the rides before you go - we got there early at park open (8 am) and low tide was at 9:20 so we got to walk the ocean floor. There are plenty of washrooms along the path to get to the rocks. We returned at 3 pm that same time to see it all at high tide. It is amazing the shift and tide and difference.

Amazing walk on ocean floor. Stunning rock formations. Beautiful pathway walk to ocean floor. Great interpretative center.
Sam_D, Sep 2025
So cool. Wonderful hike and experience. Facilities were clean and restaurant on site. Very nice day!

Visiting Hopewell Rocks was definitely one of the highlights of our road trip. We arrived about two hours after low tide and still had plenty of time to walk on the ocean floor and explore. As we wandered through other areas of the park, the tide was rising, so we got to see the water at different stages. We stayed for roughly four hours and were able to cover all the main spots. Highly recommended!
Wendy_F, Aug 2025
Amazing to see the flower pots and walk around them during low tide and then they are in the water a few hours later.
Cheryl_C, Aug 2025
It is a very interesting place to visit, walking on the ocean floor. If timed correctly for low tide the rock pillars are amazing . I recommend taking the shuttle if a person in your group tires easily
Samantha_L, Aug 2025
Although there are lots of steps and walking it is definately worth the trip. So beautiful and would do it again
Lisa_Y, Jul 2025
Make sure you check the tide schedule. Bring walking it is rocky and/or water shoes if you plan on getting your feet wet in the water.
Deb_D, Jul 2025
Worth seeing. High and low tides amazing. Park is beautiful and restaurant has good food. Hiking trails all around the park.
Axinia_D, May 2025
Absolutely a must!
Come for the high tide and stay for the low tide. There is a playground for kids, a restaurant and wonderful pathways! The experience is worth every penny! Check out the gift store, very tempting ;)

Visited Hopewell Rocks during our trip to New Brunswick, Canada, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The park's stunning natural beauty, with its towering flowerpot-shaped rocks carved by the Bay of Fundy's powerful tides, left us in awe.
The park's facilities were well-maintained, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The guided tour was informative and enhanced our understanding of the area's unique geology and ecosystem.
Whether you're interested in nature, geology, or simply looking for a unique experience, Hopewell Rocks is a must-visit destination.
Min_C, Oct 2024
it is far away from Saint John and no bus to there. You need to rent a car( the car rental shop opening time is diffrent in the weekends) You can see the rocks with diffrent shapes, water coming and go
GaryandJanet_B, Oct 2024
Walking on the ocean floor with the stunning formations all around us. It was breathtaking! The area was fun to visit, a very nice gift shop and an area where food and drinks are available. It's beautifully laid out, clean and easy to reach. I'm very impressed with the effort that has been given to make it accessible to everyone.
Karen_H, Sep 2024
We arrived for 9am as the centre opened and walked down to the shoreline. Lowest tide had been 30 mins earlier but tide was still a long way out. The rock formations were incredible. Spent a leisurely hour to 90 mins on floor and tide was coming in but appeared to be quite slowly. Wandered to the ramp to walk back up and enjoyed a hot chocolate at the cafe. We then had a walk around trails and stayed down until the tide reached its highest at 2.19pm. It was amazing. The rocks we had stood under were now under water. Highest tide for a long time apparently at 13.9m.
Joan_B, Sep 2024
Great experience being able to walk on the ocean floor and then watch where you had walked get covered in water. Food at cafe was also great!
Debra_C, Sep 2024
We visited the park at low tide . It was amazing to walk on the bay floor and have the rocks towering overhead.
Karen_M, Aug 2024
Just a lovely afternoon. Picturesque. Memorable. Challenging for those with mobility issues. Great to bring along our pup.
Alexander_M, Aug 2024
Stayed 7 hrs and saw complete cycle. Walked the Bay amongst the rocks and paddled around them at high tide. Wonderful experience. Terrific staff
Patricia_N, Jul 2024
The guide we had was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. We were amazed at the things that nature can do.
Lisa_D, Jul 2024
