Hopewell Rocks - Really Rocks! - 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.

Lifetime experience - Magnificent experience to walk the ocean floor among the giant rock formations. We arrived at half-tide, watched the water recede from the cafe deck while having lunch. Then walked for 2 hours at low tide among the rock stacks. Fantastic day.

Everything we could have hoped for! - 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.

Well worth visiting - If you follow the tide time table, you can be there at the right time to walk on the ocean floor and see the fascinating rock formations really up close. There is a small fee to get into the park. If unable to or don't want to walk, a shuttle is available to take you from the parking lot up to the lookout. There are many stairs though, to get to the ocean floor. Challenging to climb them all to get back up to the look out. There is also a restaurant and gift shop on site.

An amazing experience to walk among these rocks. - The pictures were impressive but seeing these rock formations in person and up close was amazing. We spent a couple of hours walking the beach/ ocean floor. The shoe/boot washing station at the top of the stairs leaving the beach was very much appreciated

Wonderful Beach Walk Around the Rock Formations! - The views and rock formations here were amazing. We took many photos. There are a few stairs to go down to get access to the beach. It is important to check when the tide is out, and for how long, before planning your visit.

Interesting place to visit. - Interesting place to visit to view the size of the tides in the Fundy Bay. My friends went down on to the beach but, as I'm not wonderful at walking, I just looked at the views. There are options of the way down to the beach if you really want to get down. There's a great little shuttle too to get you there. Walking is also lovely, especially in Autumn with the colours. There's a great shop with reasonably priced gifts and a cafe too.

Well worth your time to visit at both high and low tide! - We stopped by as we were passing through the Hopewell Rocks area. It was high tide, and we weren't staying in the area, so our viewing was limited. I will definitely try to visit again when I can see both high tide and low tide where you can actually walk right up to the rocks. That would have made it a better visit, but I enjoyed my time there just the same. Be prepared for an extensive walk and allow a few hours for your visit. If you get tired out by the time you get to the end, you can pay a couple of bucks for a ride back to the start.

nice to see - 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

More coastal variation - The east coast has so many different looks and this another one. Best to go at low tide and walk on the "beach" and have a good look at the rock formations. Interesting geology and natural processes at play. Good photo ops. Very busy place even in Sept. To the north a beach with thousands of shorebirds passing through on migration. A nice hiking trail from the admission booth/main bldg takes you to the stairs down to the rock structures. You can also get a motorized lift if that's preferable. Worth spending a 1/2 day during low tide.
