Elephant Rocks Waitaki Valley North Otago
Photo & Vacation Spot

The geological wonders called the Elephant Rocks are found on private farmland off Highway 83 in the fertile Waitaki Valley, North Otago, New Zealand.

Starting out as limey sand on the ocean floor some 24 million years ago, the formations called Elephant Rocks are a geological wonder in the Waitaki Valley of North Otago.

Through uplifting, the then hardened limestone rock was exposed to natural elements such as wind and water and shaped into the formations we now know as the Elephant Rocks.
