Punakaiki is best known for its Pancake Rocks and Blowholes. The Pancake Rocks jut out into the sea and are made of columns of limestone resembling stacks of pancakes. At high tide and with a heavy swell running, seawater is forced upwards through blowholes making great booming noises and vast plumes of spray, both of which are spectacular. Over 250,000 visitors come to the Punakaiki area each year to see the Pancake Rocks. Most stop at the village of Punakaiki, about 1 km north of the blowholes.
