The 'Spiritual Centre of the Universe' | Limestone Boulders

A must-do recommendation for anyone visiting Flockhill, exploring our Limestone Boulders can be achived through various activities. Hike the valley beginning with a short 10-minute drive onto private station land. Here, dramatic limestone formations rise from the earth in sculptural clusters, creating a landscape that feels both ancient and otherworldly. Choose from a half-day hike or a full-day trek and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Craigieburn's landscapes.

Layers of Story

This site holds many layers: a filming location for Narnia's great battle scene, a place of spiritual significance to the ancient Waitaha and Māori people, and today, one of the most striking natural landmarks of the high country. Our guides bring these

stories to life as you explore, adjusting the pace and path to suit a wide range of ages and mobility.

Hiking, Trekking, and Bouldering

For those seeking a deeper challenge, our full-day Limestone Trek threads through some of Flockhill's most epic scenery. With an average trek time of around 4 hours, this adventure opens up amazing opportunities to add on a premium picnic lunch or adventurous side quests like bouldering. The terrain includes steep sections and unformed tracks, rewarding the effort with sweeping vistas and moments of true discovery.

Designed For You

Exploring the Limestone Boulders by hike, trek, or climb, are tailored experiences unique to your group. While the starting site is easily accessible, extended routes include steep, uneven ground and require a moderate level of fitness.
