Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and Blowholes
In short
Unusual seaside cliffs which are formed from numerous thin layers of Oligocene limestone. As a result, there have formed diverse cliff formations which at some places resemble heaps of pancakes. In the jagged cliffs have formed smaller natural arches and several roaring blowholes. These blowholes are especially impressive at high tide and strong southwestern winds.
