The little settlement of Punakaiki is located about 40 minutes drive north of Greymouth and 50 minutes south of Westport.
The area is famous for the Pancake Rocks and Blowholes - curious limestone formations formed 30 million years ago.
Punakaiki is an ideal place for a school camp or day trip as there are many things to do and study in a small area. If your group is after a more challenging exercise, Punakaiki is also close to the start of several over night tramps.
