Make sure you plan check the tide and surf report before make this trek. It isn't always going off. You'll want the conditions to be near high tide and heavier surf . When it's right, it's amazing.

Absolutely worth the drive. Park at mile marker 38.5. If you want to walk down to the blowhole , don't wear flip flops !

Don't forget to look for the heart shaped rock formation - it makes a great photo opportunity ! Take caution when hiking as the terrain is slippery when wet.

Marvin

Come all of the way down to the blowhole for a fantastic view . Great place to do yoga .

Not a hike for everyone, Time your visit for 2-3 hrs before high tide and you won’t be disappointed

It's a hike down and it's not worth it. Have you been to Oahu? Go up the west coast and there's a much more accessible blowhole that shoots higher at the end of the road .

It's worth hiking down to the blowhole . Wear good shoes (not flip-flops) as the rocks are sharp. Be careful as you scramble over the rocks but it is on the North-East Side of the rock outcropping (a

To the right of the blowhole there is a heart shaped whole in the lava. Check it out!

Make sure you take the short hike down and check it out. Also look for the heart rock to the right!

This place is totally awesome especially with a storm alert & high waves (mostly winter seasons !) Take care w/ the rocky climb/slide down to the blowhole & breakers!

Steep rocky descent, wear stable footwear and leave the hat in the car ;)

It's definately worth the small hike down to see it up close.

Manuel Heck

One of the best blowholes , I've ever seen.

Katie Gallagher

Beautiful - great pictures! Don't wear flip flops and dont get too close!

Do NOT walk up to the hole! That's how a guy died a few months ago! Watch it from afar!

Keleigh Milliorn

Really really awesome! Look for the odd little fish in the puddles left by the blowhole .

Note: it's hard to "check in" here via AT&T... Service is very limited & hide valuables in trunk!!

Wes Mullins

Awesome views and great op for pics

Gary Powers

You can walk right up to it, very cool!

Celina Marie

CAUTION !!!! A guy was just sucked in & drowned 2 weeks ago!!!! 7/2011. Safety first!!
