Popular hike, starts from the road side. Don't get too close to the blowhole !

The blow hole is really cool to see! Please note the hike down is quite rough and not good for anyone with mobility issues. Do not go near the blow hole for safety reasons - you can see it quite nicely from a ways back.

The Nakalele Blowhole is a beautiful sight to be seen and very close to Kapalua. The drive is gorgeous, as you are presented with some spectacular, rugged views! From Kapalua head northeast on Highway 30. You will drive for around 15 to 20 minutes until you see a dirt pullout between mile marker 38 and 39. Park here and walk down the open area until you see a large rocky area surrounding the blowhole next to the ocean. DO NOT get near the blowhole. Stay away at a safe distance as it is very dangerous to get too close. Many people have lost their lives getting too close to the blowhole and the water’s edge. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes. We recommend turning around shortly after the blowhole and returning back to Kapalua the way you came. Driving clear around the island can be a little hairy on this road as there are sharp drop-offs and not a lot of places to turn out.

A short hike in awards you with a marvel of nature... a naturally occurring geyser powered by the ocean's waves. Every few minutes onlookers will be awed as a powerful burst of water shoots up from the rocks. Be careful not to get too close to the blowhole as it does 'erupt' with considerable force

Great Short Hike. Doesn't take long to get there or to hike down. Don't forget to check out the Heart Rock when you are down there. It is right across from the Blowhole.
