Halona Blowhole

Halona Blowhole lookout point is a few miles away from the Lanai lookout point. The blowhole is formed by the rock formation that spews water out of the blowhole, looking like a water fountain. Being a marvelous sight, it is a big tourist spot in Hawaii. Never climb down the rocks to go close to the Halona blowhole. It is said that Halona is one of the most dangerous currents in the world and there have been several deaths when people went close to the blowhole.

During winter (Oct to March), this is a good spot to see humpback whales as they leave the North Pacific, but we did not see the whales.

This place is also a look out of the gorgeous Sandy beach.

On the right side of the Halona blowhole lookout point is the Halona Beach Cove. It became popular in the movie "From Here to Eternity," hence it is also called the "Eternity Beach". We hiked down the rocks to get there and saw people swimming, snorkeling and fishing in the Eternity beach.
