A place like no other near Maui in Hawaii

Nakalele Blowhole

Northwestern Maui’s Nakalele Blowhole is a must-visit spot for those seeking an ideal photo opportunity. Here, you can capture the beauty of a whitecapped ocean gently washing over the rocky shoreline, with a mesmerizing geyser of misty water bursting forth in the foreground. This remarkable blowhole is created by an underwater lava tube and acts like a natural geyser. Depending on the wind and surf conditions, it can propel water up to 100 feet into the air.

The blowhole on Maui is not easily accessible, but those who make the effort to visit it find it worthwhile. Many people describe the scenery as stunning and captivating. Exploring the rock formations and witnessing the powerful bursts of seawater bring joy to most visitors. However, it’s important to be cautious about parking, as there have been incidents of car break-ins reported by a recent visitor. Additionally, it is advised to be mindful of the ocean and wear suitable hiking shoes due to the uneven and rocky path.
