Paparoa National Park

Jungle, sea, rock, a national park with a variety of scenery.

Paparoa National Park is located on the South Island of New Zealand. The most famous attractions are Melaleuca and Blowholes. Visitors can enjoy the natural scenery of Pancake Rocks along the trail; they can also watch the spectacular sight of water jets spraying sea water into the air at high tide, which is very shocking. Melaleuca pie rock is a rare marine monument in Paparoa National Park. It was formed 30 million years ago when small marine creatures and sand were buried alternately on the seabed. Seismic activity made the seabed gradually rise and dry up, and after long-term erosion of soft sand and gravel by wind and rain, the strata formed perpendicular to the cliffs and gully. Like huge layers of pancakes stacked on top of each other, it's amazing. Tips: This attraction must be visited when the tide is high. You can only look at Melaleuca during non-high tide. The sprinkler hole does not spray water, so be sure to check the high tide time in advance.
