How come this is not talked about more?! What a great hidden treasure. The walk down the mountain is not for the faint of heart and really is best for families with well-behaved children (running ahead can get them killed) and those with strong ankles and knees. You need to get close to see the rainbow in the spray, so it is worth the challenging walk. It's definitely worth the trip if you are staying on the west side of the island.

The blowhole itself is amazing! What a otherworldly landscape and when the waves really crash in, the blowhole is really impressive! I left off one star because the walk down is more of a clamber over rocks. Some really steep parts. Wear good sneakers or walking shoes, not flip flops or sandals. This can also be part of a fun multi-stop drive up to this more wild part of Maui.

Drive there is easy coming from the west. You pass one bridge that is one lane. Great views there and back. We arrived at the blowhole around 9:45am. As others advised drive past the first mile marker 38. The closer lot is located there. You’ll likely see others parked and walking to the blowhole. I didn’t think going down and up was that bad. I wore tennis shoes. The day we went the waves were huge on the North Shore so it was quite a show! A great free activity to do.

Very active blowhole, makes for a great show! It has lots of parking within a decent distance. It’s not a far walk from the road to be able to see the blowhole, however if you’re like me and you want to get close to it, it’s a little walk down a rock trail. If you walk down there, you’re likely to get sprayed with water! Didn’t take much time but was fun.

This drive is definitely worth it. The road is a little windy but well-maintained. Not a hard drive at all as some have indicated. My wife and have been a couple of times and have really enjoyed it. We were here in 2019 shortly before the “heart” rock was damaged. Really bummed that is gone. It’s an easy hike to have a good viewpoint from afar but I recommend wearing shoes to go down further. Also, the hike back up can be a little strenuous for those that don’t hike or walk regularly - my watch says it’s less than 1/4 mile but 270 foot gain in elevation from the bottom.

We enjoyed the scenic drive to the blowhole. It was a busy attraction and was easy enough to find . It is a small hike down to the blowhole, if you want to get close (but still a safe distance). Sneakers or supportive shoes are recommended. It is very hot on the hike down, bring water! While we were there we saw whales in the ocean and the blowhole itself. It felt like a real treat!

There is lots of parking to go see the Blowhole, and it's a fairly easy walk to get close enough to see it. There are lots of signs warning of danger, and to not get close, however. It's pretty cool to see

This is a must see. If you aren't used to walking on un level surfaces it might be difficult. The path is there but it's not a leisurely walk. It requires a bit of coordination and definitely need to pay close attention. Wear walking shoes not flip flops. I wore hiking sandals and they were fine. Watching others trying to walk the trail with flops made it obvious it wasn't a good idea. The view is amazingly beautiful and definitely worth seeing. You don't have to walk all the way down to the blowhole to get a good picture or view. You can see it from above if you look at the trail and decide it's not for you. There's an area about half way down with large rocks where you can sit or stand and take some great pics and enjoy the view.

Just a short but interesting drive from Kaanapali area. Parking can be scarce. Short walk to nice vantage point without making trek to the bottom. 5 and 6 year olds did the trek with no problem. 30 minutes round trip.

We walked all the way down to the blowhole and got a pretty close up view! It wasn't too hard of a hike or walk down, just climbing down the rocks. I'd recommend it to someone, but it's not a must see. It's kind of far away from other things you might be doing that day.
