We visited the Pancake Rocks and Blowholes in Punakaiki. The pathway leading to the main viewing area is wheelchair accessible.
What would you say to other visitors?
There is a small section of pathway which is not wheelchair accessible, but this may not limit people's experience too much if accessibility is a consideration. Plan to spend at least one night/two days in the area as there is heaps to do!
What was the highlight?
Visiting the Pancake Rocks and Blowholes on a day when the blowholes are active is always a highlight - it is such an impressive sight! However on this day the Hector dolphins were the highlight!
How did accessibility features improve the visit?
The area is often busy so having a wide, well-maintained pathway to and from the main viewing points helps get there without too many hassles.
