The Mysterious Moeraki Boulders

If you are driving along North Otago coast, you definitely shouldn’t miss out on stopping by the Moeraki Boulders. The Moeraki Boulders are a group of mysterious huge round stones on Koekohe Beach near Moeraki. The boulders formed about 65 million years ago and weighs up to several tonnes each! These fascinating boulders have attracted tourists and photographers from all over the world and for a good reason! The atmosphere changes at different times of the day, at sunrise or sunset, at high tides and low tides, creating many spectacular and photogenic opportunities. I recommend going during sunrise/sunset as watching the soft sun rays light up the boulders in an orange glow was nothing short of amazing! #momentssg #unforgettableexperiences #newzealand
