Punakaiki, the World famous Coast road is rated one of the top 10 Coastal drives in the World. Home to the Pancake Rocks, where the sea, wind and massive geological change have shaped the landscape creating fascinating stacked limestone rocks that the sea has eroded creating blowholes.

With some of the best scenery on offer you will need a camera on hand to capture the views. This 45 minute drive will take you to the small coastal township of Punakaiki where you will get to view the famous blow holes and pancake rock natural formations. Your guide will give you time to explore the area and local shops before checking out the cavern near by or the Truman Track, a short walk to a coastal view point. The blow holes and pancake rocks is one of New Zealand’s must do activities and one not to be missed. Your tour guide will bring you back to your accommodation or the central business district.

    The Pancake Rocks are simply amazing and the beach area and short hikes are stunning. The Blow Holes were underwhelming due to the low tide when we visited, but we loved the tour regardless. Our guide, Helen, also had great dinner tips and guidance for getting to the Hokatika Airport the next day.

  • Great experience
