pancake rocks

为了到此，往返多开了80多公里，但真正看到这“千层饼”，绝对是不虚此行的！景点不大，步行20分钟就可以转一圈，但这不一样的岩石，让我们充分感受到了大自然的神奇！这里没有门票，出来前可以随意愿任意捐赠一下！

普纳凯基千层石岩就和它的名字一样，石头一层一层叠加在一起，就像一层层的pancake。非常值得一去的地方，无需买票。据说这些岩石在海浪的冲刷下，也在渐渐的消失......薄饼岩(Pancake Rocks)看上去像个天然的泳池

因为greymouth是去往西海岸冰川的必经之路，所以对于其北部Punakaiki的薄饼岩，我们只是打算顺路看看。因为看很多帖子里没有提到或是感觉不是很“著名景点”。但是原来我们都低估了薄饼岩的魅力。 去往薄饼岩的路上还是阴天阵雨，但是西海岸大海的壮阔已经可见一斑了。我们居然是如此的幸运，到达薄饼岩时，天完全放晴了。有很多旅游大巴，看来对于旅行社来说，这里还是必玩之地呢。从不知道大海还有这一面。汹涌的浪花反复拍击，泡沫已经把海水变成了白色。隆隆的巨响在耳边回荡，强烈的海风的敲击着耳膜，不时地卷来蒙蒙细雨般的海水，打在脸上、头发上、衣服上。

到达Pancake Rocks已是下午4点，阴雨天气，效果不佳。在格雷茅斯超市买了些方便面、烤鸡和蔬菜沙拉到旅馆自己加工，奇异果3.99纽1袋，是行程中的最低价。吃完饭一行人到shining Star客栈对面看萤火虫，位置非常好找，顺着主公路左侧的小道步行2—3分钟后，关掉手电就会看到星光点点，严格的说不是萤火虫，是一种发光蕈蝇，象雨珠一样挂在线上，悬挂在悬崖边的潮湿墙面，不动也不飞行，也不象萤火虫一闪一闪的。

薄饼岩—— 让我想到千层饼你能看到些什么？远处的景色很漂亮看我在干吗？胆敢这样对一只老虎，其实是只老鼠啦，但我怎么看都觉得更像是老虎，好吧！我只敢逗逗石老虎啦！原本打算赶过来看潮涌喷泉，但是一路耽搁，到这里已经开始天黑，没想到的是，竟然正好遇上涨潮，于是我们千辛万苦，等来了这么一次大喷涌，非常壮观，拍完之后MOS赶紧把相机藏起来，因为太强烈，水雾直喷我们，就像下起毛毛细雨。Content/准备回程/ 因为到的晚，所以附近的I-SITE已经下班，原本想挑些明信片，可惜没有机会寄了。现在要赶紧赶回Hokitika入住，还有将近90公里的路程，天开始越来越黑，空中飘起了雨。又是雨天又是黑夜，MOS只能打起12分精神，现在开始感谢南航，公务舱真的很有用，至少让我们舒舒服服的睡了一晚上，本来一直担心连着坐了三趟飞机，没有睡好是铁定的，还要在陌生的地方陌生的驾驶习惯，开如此长的路。而现在完全不用担心了，MOS经过300多公里的熟悉，已经开的驾轻就熟，加上休息的好，现在精神也很振奋。匆匆两度经过Greymouth这个小镇，最终赶在21:00之前抵达，办理Check in,再晚点，工作人员就下班了。

Fantastic experience. The power of the sea is overwhelming. The pathways are well made up and the viewpoints excellent. And it is free.

Ten out of ten, what an awesome place to visit, its free and its beautiful. Be prepared to walk a little, not a tough walk though, the view is amazing and the blowholes are fantastic. Take your camera!!

Gorgeous, especially at high tide when the blowholes are visible. Well worth a stop for this stunning view over the rocks and down the shoreline.

With ample parking, pancake cafe and a cafe and gift shop this is a well run attraction. A short round trip walk of about 15-20 minutes to see the layered pancake rocks. Stunning. Then be fascinated with the blow holes as the sea crashes in and splashes up the rocks for an amazing photo opportunity. Best viewed at high tide for better effects. Good walkway except just 5 small steps near the middle. Not to be missed

One of the sites recommended on many New Zealand tour guides is the Pancake Rocks. We found them quite interesting and worth stopping by on your way somewhere. We took plenty of photos and enjoyed the walking paths while there, but the rocks as a destination on their own was not my ideal idea of a destination.

A walk around the rocks will only take about 30 minutes but there is so much to see. The solidified layers of river bed silt have been thrust upwards over the millennia to form strange columns of rock that look just like layers of pancakes.

Must see, if you are in the area of Greymouth. At low tide nice to see, but nothing special. Recommended to drive west coast road from North to South, better views.

A really accessible walk takes you in past the blow holes to the cliffs and the beautifully weird rock formations. It was mid-winter and the wind was gusting strongly, but it made it all the more spectacular. I suspect on a calm day (or at low tide) it would be nowhere near as interesting but it's still a pleasant stop off the highway.

Easy to access, the Pancake Rocks are excellent and the area well laid out with great interpretation boards throughout. At high tide a couple of blowholes shoot water some 20 metres into the air in a spectacular show - so try to time your visit to coincide with high tide..or even go twice of necessary. We did and loved it. Easy walking make it accessible to all.

A perfect stop off along the stunning!!! highway on the west coast of NZ. The rocks them selves are unique (layered like pancakes) and the walk ways through the bush and around the site are fantastic. The rocks are famous also for the blow holes which become active around high tide with an on shore wind, quite spectacular if you time it right and still worth the time if you don't. The cafe does some of the best coffe in the country and the small walk (the truman track) approx 2 min before pancake rocks heading south is an absolute must, short and quite literally breath taking. Such a magical place :-)
