About Moncton

Moncton sits in southeastern New Brunswick along the Petitcodiac River, close enough to the Bay of Fundy to experience its extreme tides firsthand through the Tidal Bore — a wave that rushes up the river as the incoming Fundy tide overpowers the current, visible from the city's downtown riverfront at scheduled times each day.

Just outside the city, Magnetic Hill is one of Canada's best-known optical illusions: put a car in neutral at the marked spot and it appears to roll uphill, an effect created by the surrounding landscape tricking the eye about which way is actually downhill. Further along the coast, Hopewell Rocks showcases the Bay of Fundy's tides at their most dramatic — flowerpot-shaped rock formations that stand on the ocean floor at low tide and are nearly submerged at high tide, changing the landscape completely within hours.

Downtown Moncton itself is compact and walkable, but Magnetic Hill and Hopewell Rocks sit outside the city and are best experienced with tide timing in mind — which is where a private, flexible tour makes the most difference to your day.

Plan Your Visit

Know Before You Go — Moncton

Best Time to Visit

June through September brings the warmest weather for exploring downtown and the coast. Hopewell Rocks is seasonal, typically open mid-May through mid-October, and closed outside that window.

Timing the Tides

Both the Tidal Bore and Hopewell Rocks depend on the tide schedule — the Bore has a posted daily viewing time downtown, and Hopewell Rocks looks completely different at low tide (when you can walk on the ocean floor among the formations) versus high tide.

Getting Around

Downtown Moncton is walkable, but Magnetic Hill and Hopewell Rocks are outside the city — a private vehicle makes it realistic to see both in one day while working around the tide schedule.

Weather & What to Pack

Summers are mild (18–25°C / 64–77°F); a light jacket is worth having along the Fundy coastline, where wind and temperature can shift noticeably compared to inland Moncton.

Money & Tipping

Canada uses the Canadian dollar (CAD). Tipping 15–20% at restaurants is standard, and contactless card payment is widely accepted throughout the region.

Local Tips

At Hopewell Rocks, walking on the ocean floor is only possible at low tide — check the posted tide times before you go, since the area is fenced off and inaccessible once the tide starts coming back in.
