About
Quick facts: Waves crash powerfully through a natural lava tube, sending bursts of seawater skyward up to 30 meters high. The blowhole is surrounded by volcanic rock formations and vibrant coral reefs just beneath the surface.
Highlights: The forceful jets of water create a spectacular natural fountain, especially impressive during high tide and strong wind. Standing on the rugged cliffs reveals the dramatic contrast of the turquoise lagoon against the dark volcanic rock as sprays of ocean mist cool the air.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for walking on uneven volcanic rock.
- Bring a waterproof camera or phone case to protect from ocean spray.
- Visit during high tide when the blowhole is at its most active.
- Go early to enjoy cooler temperatures and fewer visitors.
