The Pancake Rocks

Dolomite Point is usually referred to as the Pancake Rocks. An absolute must for everybody travelling along the West Coast. The track to the Pancake Rocks starts immediately opposite to the Punakaiki Information Centre. There is good parking, public toilets, an arts and crafts shop and tea-rooms. An uninterrupted walk of 10 min is all it takes if only you were not being distracted. Wekas, dolphins, the roar of the sea crashing into huge caverns, spectacular waterspouts out of the blow holes, nikau palm lined paths, seascapes and a beautiful coastline. Recently upgraded, and now with full wheel chair access. Allow 1 hour.
