Hopewell Rocks

Your captivating full day guided Hopewell Rocks tour is ideal for nature lovers and photographers in search of impressive vistas. Ride in comfort between walking tours of the area's most popular natural wonders.

Your Saint John tour begins with a drive through Fundy National Park, home to some of the only remaining wilderness areas in Southern New Brunswick. You'll be welcomed by a dazzling coat of conifer over the Caledonia Highlands, which beautifully stretch down into the serene fog in the Bay of Fundy. Eye candy awaits you further inland with lush forests and gorgeous deep-stream valleys. You'll arrive at The Hopewell Rocks, a magnificent visual array of stunning rock formations (as the tides allow). Walking along the beach, you'll be towered by gigantic "flowerpots" with nature-made grooves. Your fingers will love to explore these grooves, or striations, created by the highest tides on Earth, exclusive to the Bay of Fundy.

After a stair climb to the interpretive center, you'll be able to experience a historical recreation of the Bay of Fundy's fishing, logging, and shipbuilding days through interpretive displays and remarkable artifacts. If you're feeling hungry, you have the option to enjoy a purchased lunch at High Tide Café, famous for its bowl of seafood chowder.

Tumbling waterfalls and pristine beaches enhance your trip back from the interpretive center, which is when you'll be amazed by the magnificent transformation that has taken place. The tingling sensation of sea salt traveling through your nostrils will make you feel alive as you notice the towering "flowerpots" from your earlier jaunt have become low islands in the bay waters. An amazing feeling will take you over when you realize earlier in the same day you had been walking on the ocean floor.

This comprehensive Hopewell Rocks tour is the ultimate way to experience the wonderfully dramatic rise and fall of the Bay of Fundy tides, the highest in the world. Make sure to keep in mind layered clothing may be beneficial as there is a breeze by the water. Wear comfortable shoes, and don't forget your camera.
