Nakalele Blowhole, Hawaii, United States


4.5 (1.317 reviews) Spent Ranking #40 in Maui Geologic Formations

Beautiful!

This natural spout shoots up to 100 feet in the air—the view from the hilltop is impressive enough, but a hike down a rocky trail will let you get up close and personal. Approaching from the island’s west side is a lot easier than the drive from the east, and you may find the descent down to the geyser challenging. Wear appropriate footwear, as the area can be slippery and dangerous, and time your visit during high tide when the water spouts are at their most impressive. While you’re there, don’t miss checking out the Nakalele Point lighthouse, a short walk away. – Tripadvisor

    Worth the drive and the hike to view this natural wonder!
    You’ll have a long hike from the parking lot down to the blowhole. It can be a little bumpy and slippery on the way down so I recommend wearing aqua shoes or sandals with fasteners. Also, there tends to be quite a bit of pedestrian traffic so you’ll need to be patient. Once you get to the bottom and the blowhole, enjoy and take lots of pictures!

    Nakakele Blowhole
    The Nakakele blowhole in North West Maui is amazing and beautiful! It is a bit of a drive to get to, and you have to park and walk down to the blowhole, but it is incredible and the view is spectacular. Highly recommend that you pay attention to the warning sign and DO NOT GO TOO CLOSE! It is windy, and the waves crash up, quickly and with force. People have died! **Great pics from a little farther away.. and try the fresh banana bread sold by a local in the parking lot. :)
