You will even have an opportunity to view glow-worms after dark. Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes is a must see. With favourable weather and sea conditions the Blowholes are a spectacular sight. The Pancake Rocks walkway, just one kilometre from your accommodation, winds through native rainforest into flax and coastal vegetation as it nears the rugged coastline. Along the Pororari river walkway you are transported back in time to when dinosaurs roamed. Keep walking and you will meet the inland pack track, the route used by the pioneering goldminers. To complete the circuit the pack track meets the Punakaiki river track returning you to the Coastal highway..
