Experience some of the world’s highest tides as you explore a world-class attraction. Travel along the picturesque Fundy coastal drive to the Hopewell Rocks. Your local guide will delight you with both facts and folklore surrounding the Bay of Fundy coastal communities. Pass through Fundy National Park, where you can often spot various birds and even an occasional moose. Then get ready to discover the Hopewell Rocks, an icon of New Brunswick.


These flowerpot rocks were created by the clash of continents, carved by melting glaciers, then sculpted by the highest tides in the world. Interpretation will be delivered to explain how twice daily one hundred billion tons of water creates tides that can rise up to 50 feet. Your tour includes a boxed lunch that you can enjoy at your leisure.


Need to Know:

Note: Please note that due to the extreme nature of the Bay of Fundy tides, we cannot guarantee the stage of the tide cycle during your visit. Walking on the ocean floor is only possible at low tide and at guest's discretion. Guests must be able to walk approximately 300 yards over pebbled and wet surfaces, and maneuver approximately 100 steps; however, the iconic Hopewell “flowerpot” rocks can be viewed at any time from the lookout. Transfer time to Hopewell Rocks is approximately 135 minutes each way. A boxed lunch will be provided.”
