🇳🇿Elephant Rocks: Stepping Into Narnia’s Real-Life Wonderland

Tucked away in New Zealand’s Waitaki Valley, Elephant Rocks is a fascinating cluster of limestone formations shaped over millions of years! These “elephants” began as seabed deposits when the area was covered by an ancient ocean. Over time, shells, coral, and marine sediments compressed into limestone🪨 As the land was uplifted, the rock was exposed to the elements. Centuries of wind, rain, and freeze–thaw weathering gradually sculpted the rounded, elephant-like shapes we see today. Movie fans will recognise it as one of the filming locations for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (2005)🎞️ 📌Best time to visit: The site is accessible year-round, but the best time to visit is late spring to early autumn (October–April) for clear skies and lush scenery. 📌Operating time: Open 24 hours with no entry fee! #travel #naturalwonders #thingstodo #familytravel #myitinerary #newzealand #newzealandtrip #southislandnz #narnia #filminglocation #elephantrocks #limestone
