Things to see and do Owaka

Not far from Owaka, 200 m from the sea, is the Jack's Blowhole, a 55 m deep cave which, when the sea is strong, pulls water like a geyser.

Along the road, some trails lead to small, refreshing waterfalls such as Barrs Falls and Purakaunui Falls.

Cannibal Bay was named after Dr. James Hector discovered human bones in the dunes. Today it's mostly a perfect spot for a lunch break.

Place of accommodation for some B & B, camping and backpackers, Surat bay has a huge white sand beach which often houses some sea lions that come here to take the sun and take a nap. Don't close too close, because these animals remain very fast on the ground.
