I don’t know how to describe this place any better than incredible. The volcanic rocks make it look like somewhere dinosaurs once roamed.
This post makes me sound paranoid (oh well), but it pays to be on the safe side. Well worth the trip to the blowhole - just be safe!
On our second trip (in the daylight) we really enjoyed seeing the blowhole. It was getting dark, so we didn't hike down to it (see my fear of cliffs above...), but watched from above. It was a cool and romantic spot! We watched people hike down - it didn't seem difficult. One person walked out to it and almost fell right next to it. PLEASE do not do this. The wave came up from behind and surprised him (never turn your back on the ocean).
Flip flops are do-able but proper walking shoes would make the journey down the hill much easier.
We did this twice - once was in the dark and, obviously, did not see it. In fact, I was so scared we would fall off of a cliff, I made my husband turn back.
Very family friendly, as long as kiddos stay close. There is no barricade between you and an impressive drop down to the sea. During our visit many kids were making the journey up and down the hill without problems.
Absolutely a must see!! The views are breathtaking! I had no idea just how incredible this place would be!!
Honestly wasn’t very excited, but turned out to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen. The blowhole is powerful, shoots water hundreds of feet in the air. There is a little bit of hiking if you want to go down close to it, I️ was fine in flip flops but it would have been easier with shoes.
Cool spot to come see, and a lot easier to access than anything similar on the road to Hana, especially if you're staying on the west side of the island. Wear good shoes if you want to walk all the way down. Sandals or flip flops will not get you down there safely. It's not a long walk from the road side parking area but it will require traversing rocky paths. The drive out there isn't too bad and didn't take too long. There's a couple of tight turns and a few steeper than normal hills but nothing treacherous. And there are a few food trucks along the way and at the blow hole.
Loved it. This blowhole didn’t disappoint. Shoes are highly recommended. Our 5-year-old son needed some assistance on the steep route. Our 7-year old daughter was fine on her own. Worth the drive. The views along the road are wonderful too.
Absolutely stunning.
