Create an itinerary including Halona Blowhole
At Halona Blowhole, watch the sea water shooting up to 9 m (30 ft) into the air from a molten underwater lava tube. Created thousands of years ago and surrounded by steep, sharp and slippery sea cliffs, the blowhole is one of Oahu's natural wonders and a must-stop scenic spot on southeastern shore of the island. The blowhole is best observed from the safe distance of the lookout point when the waves are high.

  • So beautiful!! This was one of my favorite sites to photograph. The hike down is just for the young but it is worth it if you can do it.

  • Beautiful photo spot. Highly recommend. Worth a stop and a detour. To the right there is a little path that leads down to a small beach area with a cave. Highly recommend checking out both areas. Wear good shoes, watch your step if following path down to cave area.
  • We happened to be on Oahu during a very windy 4 days, and we ventured out to see the Diamond Head side of the island and to see the blowhole. It was AMAZING to see big waves, beautiful blue colors, and the water go through the blowhole and up maybe 100 feet!!! We also saw a couple of foolish people venture close to the opening. The water came out with the force of a fire hose!!!
