The Nakalele Blowhole is one of the most spectacular sights in West Maui. The ocean here has undercut the shoreline, pounding underneath the lava shelf, where it splits through a man-sized hole in the lava. The blowhole varies tremendously with the tide and size of the surf.

Access

Exactly 1/2 mile past the 38 mile marker is a wide turnout backed by rounded boulders. The site is located about 1,200 feet from the road (and 205 feet below you).
