What a beautiful video! You really got some nice shots and I thought the narration was just right. Although I'm sure having such a wonderful subject sure helped!
been there about 7 times as I live in northern new Brunswick if u wanna visit the longest sandbar in the world visit my hometown of Dalhousie nb fresh water on one side salt water on the other side bay of chaleur one of the worlds most beautiful bays. nice vid!! actually I believe not long ago there at hopewell a huge rock formation that stood out actually fell to the ground and they removed the fallen pieces it was like one of the most notable formations it was on my local news nobody was there when it happened which was amazing as it surely would of killed ppl a huge formation falling to the ground like that
Thanks so much Arron! And thanks for the recommendation. So much still left to see in New Brunswick! Yeah I think it was the Elephant Rock that collapsed. Lucky no was around when that happened!
Your videos are fabulous! Doing a bit of research for virtual geography but also reminiscing visiting the east coast 2 years ago. Got lucky with this at low tide and seeing the tidal bore in Truro. Being an inlander, planning a whirlwind road trip around tidal charts was a *challenge*! 😂
They sure are, as I noted in my video description. I had special permission from the park to film, including all the necessary permits and insurance :)
Wanted to give a heads up! You are no longer allowed to fly drones in the park. I am from the area and have a family member who works there. They said the reason why the park changed this is because it’s a accident risk and many people were selling the footage for money.
Thanks Katherine! The same policy was already in place when I visited. I got special permission from the park and worked with the staff to capture this footage. Otherwise, no drones allowed!
Hopewell Rocks, is possibly the lamest tourist activity that I have engaged in, since I visited the source of the Rhine river in the Alps, that turned out to be a tunnel in the ice with a guy in a polar bear costume... I feel terrible seeing tourists arriving from Japan, etc... to have this crap presented as something special. Have you seen the sea stacks in Japan, or Oregon, or the UK, etc... As a climber, I am a little biased because the rocks are so crap, just piles of muddy aggregate. We love granite, and similar beautiful rocks, and I imagine others agree, as one rarely sees a pile of mud used as a headstone in a cemetery. And the waters are muddy soup. I think people like these rocks because they are lame, which is to say on a scale that can be enjoyed by just about anyone. And it is the ocean, which can only be so bad. But virtually every other province has flowerpots (Niagara escarpment in beautiful limestone), or waters that are more beautiful. It is just one of the ugliest cons on offer. And there are equally beautiful areas on the NB coast that do not require a steep fee, or a ridiculously curated approach. You just go and have a look. It should be a UNESCO world heritage site of "we are all here and might as well pretend to be having a good time... And hey, we are. Though when I look at the pictures, it really was bad..." NB is a great province, but the Hopeless Rocks are just a small town attraction that has been blown wildly out of proportion.
We. Love. Canadá. Its a. Beautiful. Country

Nice video and impressive place you got there :-)
Thanks Ian! This was a big bucket list place for me and it totally lived up to my expectations. Mother nature is incredible :D
From the amount of vegetation onshore, there must be a goodly amount of precipitation here.
There is, and even more so with the tides changing 10-16 meters twice a day :)
That was nice
Thanks so much! It's such a beautiful spot :D
Hi Arienne that footage is awesome. If you don't mind me asking, what drone did you use for the footage?
Hey Gavi! I have the DJI Phantom 4 :)
Your videos are fabulous! Doing a bit of research for virtual geography but also reminiscing visiting the east coast 2 years ago. Got lucky with this at low tide and seeing the tidal bore in Truro. Being an inlander, planning a whirlwind road trip around tidal charts was a *challenge*! 😂
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that 😊 The tides are just incredible in the Bay of Fundy.
Ummmm.....aren't Drones illegal in provincial parks?
They sure are, as I noted in my video description. I had special permission from the park to film, including all the necessary permits and insurance :)

That’s where I dropped my phone and the screen shattered because I was taking pictures :,) lmao but it’s ok I got a new phone 😂
Oh no!! That's one way to remember the Hopewell Rocks 😂
