What is the best time to visit Punakaiki?

The best time to visit Punakaiki is during the months between December - March, during the summer months. This time is when the region experiences the best weather and makes it ideal to explore the national park and other natural attractions in the region. Additionally, travellers should ensure that they visit the Pancake Rocks during high tide so as to best see the effects of the water shooting through the blowholes.
