Paparoa Coast


 


 

Local Attractions

In five minutes you can walk through rainforest from Arapuna to the beautiful Truman beach with its own blowholes, sea caves and rock pools.
Little blue penguins are here in season.
Hectors dolphins are often in the surf offshore.

 

Pancake Rocks & Blowholes

It's only three kilometres to the Pancake Rocks and blowholes.
High tide (or an hour each side) with southwest waves means
the Chimney Pot and Putai are usually blowing.
