Located on the southeast shore of
Oahu, the Halona Blow Hole is a popular spot for tourists and
locals - one of Hawaii's natural wonders. You'll want to try to
visit this spot on a windy day with a lot of surf and wave action
to really see the best show. If you're around the southeast shore,
though, it's relatively easy to keep an eye on the weather and
plan a little side trip to see the blowhole while you're in the
area if the weather allows.
Even if you don't get windy weather, there's still a reason to
stop by. As with so many of the other |
natural wonders on the Hawaiian islands,
it's a sight to see if you're in the area. From the majestic cliffs to
the way the waves hit the rocks, it's a pretty impressive sight if
you've never seen it before. Pictures just don't do it justice.
Located 10 to 15 minutes from Waikiki, it's a quick little side
journey that won't take a lot of time. It will be worth it, though.
The Halona Blow Hole was formed when ancient lava tubes are exposed to
the water as the waves rise. The pressure builds up and the water is
shot into the sky. It's a little different than other blow holes, but
if you've seen one, you get the general idea. Still, you should make
this a stop if you're on the South Shore of Oahu. It's free and not
too far out of the way.
