🤯The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world and it’s incredible to witness the change! 🌊There are 2 high tides and 2 low tides each day which leaves boats with… and without water in the same exact spot! @destinationNB #ExploreNB #Newbrunswick #tidechange

Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park was one of the most memorable highlights of our road trip to the Atlantic Provinces. If you’re planning a visit, it’s definitely worth the stop for its stunning natural beauty and well-maintained facilities. The park itself is well-organized, with convenient amenities like bathrooms and food services at the upper level. To reach the beach, you have two options: you can either walk down 99 steps, which adds to the experience, or take a more leisurely route that is just a few hundred yards to the beach’s easy-access point. Shuttles service also available for elderly people iwould recommend only for them. One thing that stood out to me was that the park is dog-friendly, making it a great stop for travelers with pets. Just be sure to wear good walking shoes as some parts of the beach can be muddy and a bit rocky. However, the park provides areas at the top to clean and brush your shoes, which is a thoughtful touch for visitors. The low tide during our visit allowed us to walk down to the ocean floor, feel the iconic rock formations up close, and take some great pictures. It’s an incredible experience to see these majestic rock formations and walk on the ocean floor where water would be during high tide. Parking was also a breeze, with a large and ample parking space available. Students can enjoy a discount on the ticket price, which is a nice bonus. Overall, Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park is an unforgettable experience. From the scenic coastal cliffs and fascinating trails to the natural beauty of the rock formations, it’s a must-visit for anyone traveling through the Atlantic Provinces. Highly recommended!

Not just some rocks as the negative reviews state, although a bit expensive 18 CAD/person is a bit high for maintaining mainly the staircase that leads to the area where the rocks are concentrated. Having said that, there are very few places around the world as naturally attractive as this area: - there is a large car park, well maintained, and after paying the fee, you reach the area housing the toilets/shop/info etc - you can also pay to be taken from here to the area where the rocks are by a driving tour, if you are old or needy but you will miss the beautiful trail between the trees where you can see squirrels, birds, etc and listen to nature - once you reach the area where the rocks are, there are more toilets and vending machines. Due to being late September, their shop here was closed, thankfully all kids were in school so we came across only large groups of older people - you can then descend via their well maintained staircase to the sea level and walk to the most further away point where the rocks are, one more mesmerising than the other - returning, I noticed some people had muddy shoes which they were able to wash in an area not far from the stair case: I guess you are paying for all this maintenance - also, the road from Moncton to here passes through small communities with lots of wildlife: I have never seen anywhere else so many little animals hit by cars!!! So upsetting! Some people saying that PEI is cheaper, here is some trivia: returning from the island via that amazing long bridge you have to pay 50.25 CAD - then you realise that even PEI is not that free!!!!

There's free parking. The park has these walking trails. You got to pay the admission fee to get in. There's a shuttle buses service to get to the part where you're able to walk down the stairs I assume. There are toilets along the trail pathways. Depending on when you go, they have different opening and closing times. We went in the earlier dates so the times were from 9 am to 5 pm. You can still enter the park even after the 5 pm closing time. You don't need to pay. And there is still parking available outside of the gates. But, you may not be able to walk the ocean floor, or have enough time to enjoy your walk of the ocean floor (and to take lots of photos). Pretty looking rocks at high tide. Nice scenery. There are multiple lookouts to see the rocks and the nearby scenery. 3:00/3:30 pm for the day that we went, we walkes on the ocean floor. And we took many photos of the Flower Pot Rocks. We took photos of the other rocks, whose names I don't remember. We walked back and forth on the ocean floor, over rocks, through mud, and through watery mud. It's recommended to bring and wear boots, like those rain boots, hiking boots, winter boots. "Natural beauty. Beautiful. Many secrets in nature." - My Parents, 2023 The guide we talked to was informative inside the information building. Told us about the wildlife and about the Hopewell rocks. Would recommend you spend the day here, to see the rocks in high tide/low tide and to see the rocks when there's no tide.

Great value at only $ $15.55 for adult. For this destination price you will get to come back here for 2 days in a row for the same price. I would recommend is you come one day at high tide and come the next day at low tide or vice versa. Doing shoes prop. Bring comfortable shoes suitable for hiking. Also good to know there are picnic tables as well as barbecuing allowed on the property. There is a pit where you can dispose of your ashes. Walking downhill towards the shore is quite steep and takes about 10 minutes or so. If you're tired or don't feel like walking they even have a small shuttle that can drive you up and down from the top of the information center right down to where you would access the rock formations. The gift shop is pretty decent and reasonably priced. This place has some good parking and some wheel chair accessible sections to it. The staff is very helpful courteous and professional. You can rent kayaks and kayak out towards the formations but it has to be done as a group in a group setting by a leads tour. There are several different places to purchase food and there are some vending machines with cold drinks available throughout the property. There are also several restrooms scattered all over the area for those in need. Definitely a cool experience and I don't think you should miss it if you have the chance and you're out this way... Hopefully this review helps the travelers somewhat.
