A quick find on our way to visit the boulders with some friends who have not been here before.
Thanks for the cache Bitsprayer

Poked around for a little bit, but didn't see anything. Boulders were easy to find though
Quickly found this small one at the parking area. TFTC & Regards from Bremen, Germany pxfritz
Found it! A quick find once at GZ after returning from a walk along the beach to look at the boulders! I picked up a collection of plastic along the way. Maybe people could pick up rubbish instead of shells and stones as souvenirs! TFTC SL Cheers from Pippin and the Traveling Muggles from Melbourne!

This was a quick grab after the group of a Primary school has left. Thanks for hiding.
What a nice and easy cache in such a beautiful place. Found it after a stroll along the beach. TFTC
Ein schöner Neuseeland-Urlaub. Und eine schöne Stelle für einen Cache.
A beautiful New Zealand holiday. And a nice place for a cache.

During our visit in beautiful New Zealand, we have naturally sought some caches. There were many memorable impressions on our trip and showed us some caches the New Zealand off the beaten path. You have a wonderful country! We thank all Ownern for the cache and send best regards from Denmark, Thyde2.

#990 - First we was wrong - by the cafe. We tourned around and came here. We looked for the cache and it was an easy found. A short log and then we went to the beach and the boulder - we spended here a great time - it was great to see the boulders by high tide! TFTC.
Now, we left Dunedn and continue our trip to Alexandra, but on the way, we couldn't miss these boulders, even if we have to drive a bit more. This is definitely a must-see !
Fun fact, when we stopped the car and launched the app, the compass was showing "2 m". This is the geocaching instinct.
Maintenant, nous avons quitté Dunedin et nous sommes en route pour alexandra, mais sur le chein, nous faisons un détour pour voir ces rochers. Incroyable, à voir absolument. Petite anecdote : Quand nous nous sommes garés et avons lancé le GPS, il nous a indiqué "2m" de distance jusqu'à la cache... Instinct, quand tu nous tiens.

Continuing our great kiwi adventure honeymoon all the way from England! Today we had to drive from Dunedin to Christchurch, and this was a good lunch stop along the way. The boulders were fascinating, so bizarre! Picked up TBs and will take them back to England. TFTC
Parked in the right spot, easy find. After our visit to the Moeraki boulders. Great place.
We found this cache during our holiday in NZ. We would like to thank all cache owners for showing all beautiful places they have shown us.
I thought I'd logged this one at the time - oh well, one of the vagaries of mobile phone caching I guess! Once I'd narrowed it down to a couple of contenders, the find was relatively easy, in between muggles. Good to see Pigs'o' fury got there before us - happy holidays folks & TFTC.
An easy cache because some fellow geocachers already had the logbook out when I arrived. The kids enjoyed some paddling and playing in the waves before we headed on to Oamaru.
Thanks.
Thanks.
We had to wait until some tourists left their car to go to the beach, and since they were slow we decided that we'd also play tourists and pay a visit to the Moeaki Boulders... When we returned we could search more easily, only to find the cache a few moments later.
Since this seems to be a quite visited spot with lots of logs on the book, we decided to leave our friend the Happiness Tiki TB here. He looked happy near the Pacific Ocean, see the picture!

During our roundtrip Through New Zealand, we stopped at the Moeraki Boulders to take some pictures of the boulders in the sea. It was high tide, so we had to watch the water very carefully not to be splashed. Quick find!
Thanks for bringing us here.

A quick find next to a parked camper van. Fortunately they must have been visiting the boulders as it was all quiet. Picked up and dropped off a TB.
Frankie Lee and ourselves hosted a group from WGHS for activities week, to show them what geocaching is all about, and collected a few new ones for ourselves. Great day all round. TFTC
Fast found. Thanks for this one, otherwise we would have missed the boulders. TFTC
NZ road trip with Schlitz13. On our tour we had the time to look for some caches. We found them, and some special places of interest or great views.
TFTC!

Today we had to arrive at Twizel, that's not that far, but we had be busy today. First we tried to find Shag point and missed to find the 'entrance', but we found our way to the Moeraki Boulders and saw yellow eyed pinguins at Oamaru. We continued with visiting the Waitaki river dam, Lake Benmore and the Avimore Lake. There was no time left for the Maori Rock Art and Elephant's End left.
As we've not found an entrance to the beach itself, we didn't miss to sign the logbook.

additional information: I will change my geocaching alias name from 'Schlitz13' to 'Megalodon'

Quick find. Great to meet BrownscacheDiversBCD. Found with Lollipopcat and SpyDude13. Kia ora for the cache Bitsprayer.
finally got the gps working and with help from another geocaching family we had it in hand lots of muggles around though [^]
Beach was to full with people so i decide to come back later.
At the parking spot i found a open box and the loogbock laying around.
I put everything togethter and hide it where i think it was.
Maybe need a little bit more maintenance.

Great location as the start of our walk. Amazing boulders nearby on the beach. Fourth NZ cache of the day! TN Left thong TFTC
Had lunch at the boulders cafe and then went for a stroll down to retrieve this cache. Lovely day today. TFTC
Unfortunately the tide was up and covering most of the boulders when we got there but that didn't stop us from getting a couple of caches. We were heading down to Dunedin for the weekend. We pulled into the parking lot and there were a couple of muggles sitting in their car. With a nice little parking job my hunt was concealed and we were able to get the cache. TFTC!
Got it this time! The Asian couple who were there when we arrived were still there when we got back, bother. Headed over towards GZ anyway, and started picking up rubbish. Apparently they stopped watching as soon as they saw that- another benefit of CITO.

Found during fozzmiester's South Island adventure. Great fun was had with clever hides and stunning locations encountered along the way. Many thanks to the owners of all the caches found and the enjoyment which you provided.
The carpark was deserted so we took the opportunity for the quick find before heading off to the boulders.

We arrived in a gap in the muggle traffic, which turned out to be because of high tide so made a quick find. Thanks Bitsprayer.
Bleah! There was a campervan beside the hide with tourists inside looking at me standing there...
Quick find as we took a break while heading south. Left a TB. TFTC!!!

And back at the car park another cache to add to the list. This one was more difficult to put back than to find...
Thanks for the cache

Could see the cache but far too many muggles around today (it's the Easter break and sunny so everyone and his dog was there) so thought it best not to pull it out and sign the book.
A busy day with many people around but no one noticed as we quickly reached for it.
