Paparoa National Park

Situated on the west coast of the South Island, the national park stretches all the way north, covering vast lands from offshore to inland, including the rugged valleys of the Paparoa Mountains eroded by glaciers. Knife-cut ridges, endless river canyons, bizarre caves and coastal landscapes shaped like pancakes. In this vast national park, you can see the wild beauty of nature from every angle. The famous "Pancake Rocks" are located on the coast of Paparoa National Park. The steep terrain, the strong wind blows the waves, and under the action of air pressure, the seawater in the rock holes erupts instantly, forming the unique water spray spectacle of Paparova Park. Remember to come here at high tide, you can encounter a water spray show performed by nature. Leisure or thrill-seekers, there is always something for you in the plethora of caving activities here. Acid-laden water has eroded the limestone over thousands of years, creating its rich underground channels and caves. Joining caving also gives you the opportunity to delve deeper into the inner beauty of Paparoa National Park.
