A wild and wonderful tourist activity, visiting the Pancake Rocks is a mere 20 minute walk from the main highway at Punakaiki. The rocks and blowholes are limestone formations and will have you marvelling at Mother Nature.

The Pancake Rocks are a must see for all of us who think "geology rocks"! A fascinating spot just 50 or so kms from Westport, these oddly shaped rocks have been formed over 30 million years ago by the bodies of billions of tiny creatures (creepy!). I love watching the blow holes ('see who can predict where the next one will blow' is a game you can play with your friends) and just generally having a really good ramble around.
