Halona Blowhole Lookout : info and guided tour

About Halona Blowhole Lookout

Halona Blowhole Lookout is a coastal viewpoint located east of Honolulu, along HI-72, facing the Pacific Ocean. The site is known for its view of the Halona Blowhole, a natural phenomenon where waves rush into a lava tube before being forced upward as a sea geyser, sometimes with impressive power.

The scenery combines volcanic cliffs, dark rocks and an open horizon over the coast of Oahu. This is not a built monument, but a scenic stop designed to observe a landscape shaped by erosion and ancient volcanic activity. The simplicity of the place is part of its appeal, along with direct access to one of Honolulu’s most photographed coastal spots.

Halona Blowhole Lookout is also famous for having been used as a filming location, which has added to its popularity with visitors. The lookout offers a chance to see both the blowhole’s spray and, depending on conditions, wide-open views of the shoreline, the waves and the rocky headlands framing the bay.
