    Short walk down the beach from the car park was worth it. Very windy though!

    Generally nice, may not be the best spot for some. But the boulders are interesting to look at, thinking how they were formed.

    Pretty disappointing actually. Unless perhaps if you arrive to watch the sun rise and capture the 5 or so stones that are semi-worth taking photos of...

    I don't understand the negative comments. I think the Moeraki Boulders are simply beautiful! Round rocks - the power of nature.

    Really good! If you stop or park at the Moeraki Boulders Café, you can take a nice 15-20 minute walk along the beach and through the forest and then have a coffee on the wooden veranda with a view of the sea and the fascinating spheres Rock. We can only recommend it.

    Not worth it at all. Simple pebbles.

    Really not worth the stop over. Cool rock formation but not near much else. Might look better at sunset?

    $2 donation entry to see the Boulders, very fascinating to see the boulders and how they came about. Nice cafe upstairs with whitebait patty + blue cod fillet.

    Good if you are a photo maniac or an Instagrammer. The boulders are interesting if you are into rocks and stuff. Beautiful beach but not worth coming just for this.
