Pancake Rocks

Pancake Rocks, located in Paparoa National Park on the West Coast of New Zealand, is a fascinating natural attraction. The rocks are a unique limestone formation that has been eroded into a 'pancake' stack shape. Visitors can walk around the rocks on a 1.1 km loop track, which is suitable for wheelchairs with assistance. The track offers spectacular views, geological oddities, coastal forest, rich birdlife, and marine mammals. The nearby blowholes are also a highlight, with powerful waves crashing into the rocks and creating a huge wall of spray. The area is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including broadleaf forest, nikau palms, and native birds such as tui, bellbird, and kereru. Visitors can also spot the Westland petrel, a burrowing seabird that breeds in the area. The Pancake Rocks are a must-see attraction for families, with its unique natural beauty and interesting geological formations
