Full description
Travel the Coast Road, a scenic drive passing beaches and bays with native West Coast bush background. Stop for photos along the way before reaching Punakaiki where you will be guided through the pancake rocks and blowholes. Enjoy a nature walk with access to interpretation panels to learn about your surroundings.  After spending time at the blow holes you have time to grab a refreshment at the local cafe before travelling on to the Truman Track. Take a short walk to an ocean viewing platform and sandy bay. At low tide you can access the bay and walk along to the rock pools.  Head back via the famous Coast Road and if time allows the tour guide can stop off at some bays along the way and allow time for more photos. Your tour ends back in Greymouth at your accommodation or at the visitor centre.

Helen was a wonderful guide! She willingly stopped along the way so we could take photos of the beautiful coast. The walk at Pancake Rocks was very interesting and beautiful. The walk through the forest at Truman Track was gorgeous and Helen knew a lot about the trees. It was a pleasant afternoon. I highly recommend this trip.
