Hopewell Cape: Hopewell Rocks Admission

Get entry to the Hopewell Rocks, situated along the Bay of Fundy, boasting the highest tides in the world. This location provides a unique opportunity to witness both high and low tides. Visitors can explore a multi-media exhibit at the Interpretive Centre, enjoy scenic walking trails and lookouts. Don't forget to savor a warm meal during your visit. Entrance passes are valid for two consecutive days.

For thousands of years, the colossal tides of the Bay of Fundy have meticulously carved their masterpiece in Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick. With over twenty free-standing sea stacks dotting two kilometers of shoreline, no Atlantic Canadian vacation is complete without witnessing these iconic formations. And just when you think you've seen it all, wait six hours to witness the remarkable transformation of the Ocean Floor. Sturdy footwear is recommended for exploring trails and shoreline. Be sure to check the tide schedule before your visit to ensure it's safe to explore the Ocean Floor.

Sea Stacks-
Also known as flowerpots, come in an incredible array of sizes and shapes. Visitors only need to look at them to understand why they've been playfully named Elephant, Bear, Dinosaur, ET, and even Mother-in-Law. With a bit of imagination, new rock characters seem to appear around every corner. The Hopewell Rocks is designed for self-guided exploration, but friendly Interpretive staff are available throughout the park to answer any questions you may have.

Ocean Floor Access-
The Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park has three primary access points to the Ocean Floor. Main Deck offers a large metal staircase complete with a spacious viewing platform. Guests can descend the 99 stairs to the ocean floor and after exploring, can boast bragging rights to having climbed the 101 steps back to the top. For those who are not a fan of stairs, venturing a little further towards North Beach grants you access to a ramp with benches strategically placed along the incline. Although the ramp is suitable for wheelchairs, many find the ocean floor to be too challenging to navigate on wheels. Finally, the treasures of Demoiselle await those who walk the trail leading South from behind the Interpretive Centre. This trail gently descends to sea level and provides an incredible view of our cliffside, Shepody Mountain, Mary's Point and Grindstone Island. No matter which Ocean Floor access point you choose, the shoreline can be fully explored at low tide.

Trails-
Our network of well-maintained, wheelchair-friendly trails forms the backbone of the park. Just a short walk from our main building, you can enjoy stunning lookouts, secluded vistas, ocean floor access, and natural forests. For those who prefer a quicker route to the main attraction, a shuttle service is available for a nominal fee, transporting you from the Interpretive Centre to the top of the stairway leading to the Ocean Floor.
