Nakalele Blowhole Maui ｜ What You Need to Know BEFORE you go？
#stunningnature
One of the must-see attractions in Maui is Nakalele Point and its famous blowhole. While the sight is breathtaking, it’s important to remember that this area can be extremely dangerous. Rough rogue waves are common, and the powerful blowhole has been known to pull people in if they get too close—a tragic reality that’s happened before. If you visit, be sure to enjoy the beauty from a safe distance and stay aware of your surroundings.
Maui Hawaii is one of my favorite places on earth. It's a very small island but everywhere you turn
is a new breathtaking sight and a new adventure. In today's quick little video we take a look at
the Nakalele point of the island, showcase the beautiful and dangerous Nakalele blowhole
and the surrounding area. Stick around.
Nakalele point is a landmass on the eastern edge of the northern tip of the island of Maui.
The point is known for its blowhole and has become notable for its dangerous conditions
when waves crash in. The point and the blowhole are located just east of Polua Bay. Nakalele
point is famous for a blowhole which produces powerful geyser-like water spouts with the waves
and tides. Water spewed from the blowhole can rise as high as a hundred feet in the air.
Visitors to the site should never stand between the blowhole and the ocean and visitors should
never turn their backs on the ocean as rogue waves could cause injury at any time. Not to scare you
away from the area but one person is confirmed to have been sucked into the blowhole and killed
so keep your wits together when you adventure here.
That's crazy. There's a parking right next to the road where there's also usually a few stalls of
local selling snacks, coconuts and water. You'll be hiking down to the ocean and the blowhole
but it's a very quick little hike.
To the right of the Nakalele blowhole is a heart-shaped rock. It's a popular
Instagram photo spot for the cheesy photographers out there like Stephanie.
Finally the northwest drive from Kapalu around Nakalele point and on to Ubailuku
is also amazingly beautiful if the road doesn't scare you off.
Like I said before Maui is a small island but it's packed full of beautiful sites and
different adventures for you to go on so stick around the channel as we explore
other areas of Maui and Hawaii. Thanks for watching and we'll see you on the next adventure.
