-- About this video --

Today we are hitting the road from Karamea to Punakaiki on the West Coast of the South Island, but that’s such a huge drive down the Great Coast Road that we need to find some things to do in the West Coast along the way.

From Karamea, we drive through the snowy mountains and arrive in Westport, showing true signs of the wild West Coast weather. At Westport, we have a quick stop to check out the Coaltown Museum, which gives insights to what the West Coast of New Zealand used to be all about: coal mining.

After the Coaltown Museum in Westport, we hit the Great Coast Road toward Constant & Joyce Bays. St Constant Bay is a 15-minute loop walk showing the wild rugged coast of the West Coast, South Island. Once we have done the Constant Bay walk, we head to the final New Zealand attraction of the day, Punakaiki Pancake Rocks & Blowholes!

Punakaiki Pancake Rocks is one of the most popular short walks on the West Coast of the South Island. The loop track takes us to viewpoints over rocks that look to be stacked like pancakes. It’s a bizarre sight but a must-see in New Zealand.

We don’t have to travel too far from the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks because tonight we are staying at the Punakaiki Beach Camp.

So what do you think of this New Zealand West Coast road trip on the Great Coast Road? Would you visit Coaltown, Constant & Joyce Bays or the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks?
