New Brunswick: Saint John to the Bay of Fundy: 4-Day Plan You Can Actually Drive
Last updated:
The 4-day version for July: every day fits real transit, opening hours and daylight.
💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~15.2 hours of daylight in July.
- Walk the ocean floor at Hopewell Rocks at low tide and kayak the same flowerpots six hours later — the world's highest tides run 16 vertical metres here.
- Light days: day 2, day 3 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
Before you go · check live details
This is a planning draft. Check these changing details for your dates before booking or travelling.
Some route advice is currently available in English.
- Check the official tide table and current park access.
Use the official Hopewell tide table and staff instructions. Ocean-floor access is time-limited and can close for tides, rockfall or weather; Fundy roads and trails can also close.
Check source ↗ - Confirm an insured car, fuel, parking and every overnight.
Confirm the insured car, fuel, signed parking and lodging in Saint John, the Fundy coast and Moncton. Recheck New Brunswick road notices before each daylight leg.
Check source ↗ - Check current hours and separately book any optional activity.
Confirm current hours and admission for Hopewell Rocks, Fundy facilities and named museums. Kayaking, whale watching, theatre, golf, swimming and long hikes remain separate choices.
