The Hopewell Rocks - OFFICIAL Time Lapse video of 45.6 foot tide

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 like how two distinctly different groups of people enjoy it. Those on foot and those in boats.

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!

Loved seeing the kayaks come through. Kayaked and walked the Rocks in 2003 with my family. Awesome!

We were just at Hopewell Rocks last week…drove up from North Carolina to fulfill a vacation we talked about for 45 years! Just wonderful! Highly recommend St. Stephens Sea Caves also….tumbled ocean rocks as far as the eye can see when the tide is out!

Thank you for this video! We are learning about tides in our homeschool & this was perfect to show my daughter how much the water level changes.

Impressive change in water level not to mention a beautiful location.

Grew up not far from there. Now living far away, nice to see. Thanks.

I went here in May of 2017... this was one of the most amazing places I've ever visited... I do plan on coming back here in the future as well :)

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.

I grew up near there and miss it. Thanks for sharing!

Always looking for something cool, fun, and interesting that grandpa here can do with the grandkids when they come over and be able to sit while I'm doing it. Added this one to their bookmark folder. Thanks. Very nice. I appreciate the work involved.

Fun place to go. Fundy National Park was one of our favorite national parks. We have made the trip several times. Good times!

Good morning, Kevin, on August 20, 2018, I was a member of the Caravan bus group (led by Blair), and thoroughly enjoyed your excellent and most informative tour. Thank you so much for enabling me to check off another item on my Bucket List. We will be back for sure; would have loved to have seen the area later in the day when the tide had come in for comparison.... bus tours have schedules of course so we will return for a more leisurely visit.

Good looking video and impressive amount of tidal changes. Has a good feel and cool looking shots. Keep up the filming and thank you for sharing

[Clearanceman]

So awesome how the rocks are so much more eroded at the water line and below.

[SuperEnthused]

So cool! I was there recently and had an amazing time walking on the bottom of the ocean!!!!
