This feels like the 12 Apostles of Melbourne, and extremely beautiful in its own ways. Very peaceful, and you really get to see the different rock structures clearly.
Such a beautiful shared cycling and trapping trail. And with a strong link to the Pike River disaster.
I completed the Paparoa Track in the last days of September 2024 over 2 nights and 3 days of walking. This track is a treat to views of the Paparoa Range, dreamy ocean sunsets and majestic forests showing off plenty of beautiful native NZ trees. Not too hard, this walk is a great one for beginners.
Its is impossible to capture or put into words how breathtakingly beautiful some areas of this trail are, a place as rich with history as it is diverse with wildlife, a place well worth admiration and protection
One of the best bike rides, I have ever done. Lovely forest all around and good views of the river. The track is also really well maintained and up and down which makes the bike more worth it. A very enjoyable experience.
Did the Paparoa Great Walk. Amazing scenery, sunsets and sunrises, starry nights and views. Huts were great with much better facilities than expected
An absolutely spectacularly spot to stop during our road trip holiday in the South Island. My wife and I stopped for Fish and chips in Hokitika. While we were eating lunch my read how beautiful Paparoa was so we decided to make it a stop on the way to Nelson. The National park is breath taking. We could have stayed all day just taking in the beautiful views and salty air.
Nice scenery, not just the pancake rock formations but nice vegetation around as well. Truman trail for me was the highlight. This remote beach accessible through a 15min rainforest hike is so beautiful. You get a nice view of the coastline from this vantage point.
