H: Halona Blowhole

Located on the southern tip the island, Halona Blowhole erupts with water when the surf surges underneath the lava shelf and forces spray through the hole in the rock.  It's cool to see, but much more beautiful (and usually overlooked by the tourists stopping here) is Halona Cove, just to the right.  Because it is not visible as you are driving by and a short but steep descent is required to reach it on foot, many people bypass it.  If you do decide to climb down, you will be rewarded with a perspective that's just not possible from the parking lot!  For other 'H' photos please visit ABC Wednesday.

  1. "southern tip of the island." Is that the Big Island?

  2. It's Oahu - "southeastern tip" would actually be a better description!

  4. This is a stunning view and I expect that a photo doesn't do it justice.

  6. It's great to see these, they look a little like a geyser, we have them here too. The water there always looks so beautifully blue Lisa, good shot.
