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.

[@klhaldane]

I was wondering if some of them were the same people, say on a tour “See the rocks in two ways on the same day”.

[@MarcusH...]

i'm not on foot nor in boats

[@NFSINSANE]

It's like a person walking down a trail, someone on a bike enjoys the same trail

[@dane857]

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...

[@chrisdaigle5410]

@Science Revolution That's just stupid. Thanks for the dumbest possible thing I read today.

[@jameshowland7393]

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!

[@rand49er]

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

[@allyg8846]

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.

[@kennethzelaya8512]

maybe that rise of level of the ocean is for one river, it isn't for the moon.

[@jonathanthechristian5558]

Good job homeschooling!

[@brianball6670]

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

[@JustMe-gh7ib]

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!

[@claudiamiller7730]

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!

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.

[@jkocol]

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.

[@athendemosh8001]

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.

[@nickmaclachlan5178]

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.

[@13Xerro]

I love how you can see how high the tide rises just from the erosion of the rock.

[@andygreen685]

and that erosion is defined by a relatively sharp (reverse) ledge, eroded over thousands of years, thereby proving ocean level stability. No sea level change over thousands of years! You dont have to be smart, just observant

[@kbkesq]

Nature is the best sculptor.

[@neilbain8736]

On the other side of the planet there is a similar tidal range on the Severn. I always remember it as 44 feet at Clevedon Pier. I don't know if it is actually 44 feet, but it's not far off and Clevedon and Ilfracombe Piers have three levels.
