Amazing place to visit depending on your taste. We loved it. You need to check when the high/low tide is before planning your trip. More

This probably is the best place of anywhere along the Bay of Fundy to learn about the highest tides in the world. Facilities here are A1, parking area is immense, food is fine, walking trails are really good and the site guides are real pros. This is a place that shouldn't be rushed - take your time and enjoy.

Hopewell Rocks (aka - flower pot rocks) is a fun destination for the family. I've been here many times over the years and it's really developed into something else. Where there used to be a fellow in a small stand years ago, directing you to the top of the stairs, to where it is now, tourist center, educaiton rooms, paved... More

It is so cool to be able to go down a flight of stairs and be on the ocean floor (and not drown). Also a little hunbling to know in a couple of hours your footprints will be totlally erased form the earth. Had lunch in their Visitor Center. Great Fish and Chips. More

Hopewell Rocks has an entrance fee, information centre, cafeteria, and gift shop. I believe the entrance fee is for 24 hours, so you have in and out privileges to see it during high and low tides. It's important to go during low tide so you can descend stairs to the beach area - bring washable sandals or boots because it's... More

I've always wanted to visit Hopewell Rocks in NB, and finally got my opportunity this summer! I have to say I was worth every minute! It may seem a little touristy, but at the same time, it's a phenomenon that is so amazing and beautiful. It's well worth the price of admission. I suggest if you are going, make sure... More

Visiting Hopewell Rocks combines a walk through interesting vase-shaped rock formations with beautiful colors and witnessing the largest tidal movement in the world. The tidal change for this area of the Bay of Fundy is 30' to 38' so during your visit you will see the expanding & contracting beach area. The price of admission is good for 24 hours,... More

While in the Bay of Fundy area Hopewell Rocks is not to be missed!! Walking on the ocean floor while the tide was out is an awesome experience. Looking up at the rock formations carved by the tidal water gives you a different perspective. You won't need boots to do this, but thicker soled shoes are advisable, as the floor... More

Walking on the ocean floor and looking up at the stone pedestals carved out by the water was amazing, my only regret is that I didn't make it back at high tide to see how it looked after the water came in. Lucky that my partner's family lives just up the road and I'm guaranteed to visit the area again... More
