If your in NB, you have to take the time to visit Hopewell Rocks. Such a beautiful place. An activity for the entire family, there are trails and lookout spots, beaches, and spectacular views. Plan to spend a bit of time to experience the high and low-tides and walk on the ocean floor. Beauty of nature that is not to... More

My wife had a dream that she would love to visit the Hopewell Rocks. Well, of course being the loving wife that I am - wanted to make that dream come true. ;) Anyways, we visited the Hopewell Rocks and it was disappointing. It was very crowded, quite expensive and not that exciting. To be honest, we had just come... More

Great place to go for a bike ride or have a picnic with your family. We were lucky enough to witness the tides changing from low in the morning to very high by the evening. The rocks are beautiful, and it's the most ideal place to take pictures. An absolute must see.

Hopewell Rocks is a well organized park where the whole family is introduced to the extreme tides of the Bay of Fundy. At full low tide we walked on the ocean bottom and looked up at the islands many feet above us. The beautiful caves created by the tides are accessible at low tide only. The interesting rock formations are... More

Visit while the tide is low to walk on the Ocean Floor, bring some old shoes or water shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. A little hike in, beautiful, but there are trollies to drive you in if you prefer. Pet friendly, although I do believe there are some breeds banned, Pit Bulls, Bull Mastiffs, you should check before... More

Been there once and it was beautiful. At low tigh or high tigh, it's just stunning. Near the Fundy park, there is a lot to see. For campers, bicycle, trail, observe the beauty of nature. Nice spot in NB

Unbelievable! We spent the early morning at low tide with a guide among the rock formations. By early afternoon the tide was changing and it was amazing to see.

If your planning on coming to Hopewell make sure you plan to be there about 1 hour before low tide so that you can walk on the ocean floor. It's an awe inspiring thing to view when your standing back looking at the rocks. It's located about 20 minutes or so from Moncton but woth the drive. There is a... More

These are the amazing flower pots of New Brunswick. I saw the same thing in Nova Scotia 25 years ago and those are now just a pile of rubble on the beach. Don't miss these. The stairs are a definite workout for those of us who don't go to the gym each day. Yes down is much easier than up... More

I do want to emphasize that we have scientists that analyse and evaluate the Rocks for safety, as well as stability each spring. It is their educated estimate that we... More
