  • The Hopewell Rocks Tidal Exploration Site is a fantastic place to experience the Bay of Fundy's world famous tides. To help our guests understand a full tide cycle, we set up a camera and took 1 photograph per minute from before sunrise until after sunset. The resulting 926 photos were then each used as a frame of video to create this glimpse of the world's largest tides. To fully appreciate this natural wonder, come spend a day with us on the ocean floor.

      I was there in 2002, and my friends and I planned our trip properly, so that we could experience both: walked around just before the water started to come in, then had a long ass lunch, gift shopped, and then after the sea kayak lesson, we climbed into those kayaks and revisited the same spots where we had walked earlier. Pretty cool...
      Looking forward to doing same thing with my family soon...

    Went here quite a few years ago when our children were little. It's ana amazing sight and site!! The bottom is like chocolate; it squishes between your toes!! You'll notice ther is no wave action, only the rising water. There is a river upstream where you can observe the tidal bore. On the appropriate tide it's one large wave rushing up river to fill it back it. The river actually runs in reverse at this time! A great thing to watch!

    We went there when we were little kids many years ago. I imagine the caves are still there. When my brother and I found these caves with tons of damp sand we felt like pirates digging for treasure--completly oblivious to the rising tide. Our poor parents. The sounds of their cries for us were drowned out by the sound of the surf and we eventually realized that it was coming in when we saw it at the cave entrance. We had to hoof it pretty fast back toward the stairway up. Our dad was sprinting up and down looking for us and we felt so bad. But that CAVE!

    I actually stayed in Moncton, NB a few years ago and we drove to see the site at low tide, walked on the seafloor and took some pictures. Later that afternoon we weren't doing anything and I decided to drive myself back there, wife wasn't interested, to see it at high tide. I showed some of the kids with their parents pictures of what it looked like that morning. There were pictures around but seeing that I had taken them that morning seems to be that much cooler to them. It was fun.

    Broome in Western Australia is pretty close to this tidal extreme. I remember as a kid I lived up in the Pilbara and you could be fishing off the rocks into metres deep water and the end of the day walk across. Bizarre. Everything in these waters is designed to bite, sting or kill though! not for swimming that's for sure.

      Went to Broome about thirty years ago....... got there in the evening and saw what looked like a beach and some Mangroves, but no water as far as the eye could see. Thought that was a bit weird, shrugged me shoulders and went to bed. Next morning the water was lapping on that beach and I was like WTAF?
      I do remember a really great sandy beach that we spent time on quite near to Broome, but it was the same there too, if you didn't get your timing right it was an hours walk to the water.......lol.
