Wander through a surreal landscape where geology meets legend. The Elephant Rocks Self-Guided Audio Tour invites you to explore one of North Otago’s most otherworldly sites — a dramatic limestone formation sculpted by 25 million years of natural forces.

You’ll uncover how this ancient seabed became a playground of fossilised remnants and towering rock giants, featured in films like The Chronicles of Narnia. Learn about the region’s natural history, ancient marine fossils, and the role Elephant Rocks plays along the wider Vanished World Trail.

This tour was created in collaboration with the landowner and is perfect for families, photographers, geology lovers, and curious travellers. It can be enjoyed entirely at your own pace — no bookings or tour guides required.

How It Works

This audio tour is streamed directly from your device — no downloads or apps needed. Once purchased, you’ll receive a confirmation email with an access link.

You’ll have 30-minute access to the streamable content online from the time you click the “Access Content” button. This allows plenty of time to enjoy the full experience at the site, while also helping protect the work from group re-use or unauthorised sharing.

We recommend opening the tour only once you’ve arrived at Elephant Rocks and are ready to begin.
