Hopewell Rocks: Private Tidal Walk on the Ocean Floor

Stand on the ocean floor at low tide beneath 15-metre flower-pot sea stacks, then watch the world's highest tides swallow them whole. A private guide unlocks the geology, Mi'kmaq legend, and precise tidal timing that makes this a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

What to expect

Your private guide meets you dockside in Saint John and drives you to Hopewell Rocks, arriving calibrated to low tide. You descend to the ocean floor and walk among the towering sculpted sea stacks — formations that will be submerged under 15 metres of water within hours. Your guide narrates the geological forces and Indigenous history layered into every arch and pinnacle. Before departing, you watch the tide surge back in — one of nature's most dramatic spectacles on Earth.
