Paparoa National Park

Travel Guide

Between Greymouth and Hokitika you can stop at the pancake rocks and blowholes. Really cool rock formation, now thought to be carved out by the wind

Awesome lime stone formations from over 30 million years ago - Pancake Rocks

The west coast of New Zealand's South Island has been voted one of the top 10 coastal drives in the world by Lonely Planet. Was stunning! Along the way you stop at the pancake rocks and blowholes. Really cool rock formation, now thought to be carved out by the wind. There is a petrel colony near here depending on the season

This place is magical! The Pancake rocks and blowholes of Punakaiki. Quick stopover before my next meeting #westcoastNZ #LifeAtExpedia

The only regret we have about Woodpecker Bay Bach is that we didnt have long enough time to stay! We will be back for a longer break soon to soak up that serenity. Thank you to Daniel who made the short stay an incredibly easy experience.
