Hālona Blowhole
A lava tube blowhole beside the southeast coast road, where incoming waves shoot water several meters into the air. Next to it is a small cove that has been used as a film location.
Hālona Blowhole lies beside Kalanianaʻole Highway, east of Dinosaur Bay. Waves rush into a lava tube at the shore and burst out through an opening in the rock, sending water columns up to about 9 meters high with a roaring sound. The bigger the waves, the more spectacular the show. The viewing area is right beside the roadside parking lot, and 15 minutes is enough. The small neighboring cove, Halona Beach, was a filming location for From Here to Eternity. Please do not climb over the railing onto the lava shelf, as tourists have been swept in and killed. Entry is free. Combine it with Dinosaur Bay, Koko Crater trail and Makapuʻu Lighthouse for a half-day tour of the southeast coast.
