Explore Punakaiki Pancake Rocks
Shaped like your favourite breakfast treat, these rocks vent a refreshing ocean spray.
Overview
Forging a dramatic spot on New Zealand's west coast, Punakaiki's Pancake Rocks see powerful sea bursts rise through eroded limestone formations that serve as mighty blowholes.
Emerging as a refreshing spray, the warmer springtime weather should offer the ideal conditions for a visit.
While you're there, take the easy Pancake Rocks Track to explore a 20-minute loop culminating in a stunning lookout point perched on the craggy cliffside.
