I participated with my mother on our first trip to Hawaii. I was very satisfied because we were taken to places that we could not easily visit on our own, and we were able to get around efficiently. Everyone who participated with us was lovely, and we had a very enjoyable time. Thanks to Jona-san, who was perfect with his consideration and stories, it became the best memory. Thank you very much♪

The tour with the wonderful scenery of Hawaii was the best. Because there were only a few participants, the atmosphere was friendly and I enjoyed it very much. In particular, the guide cheerfully taught me a lot about Hawaii, and I had a fun time in the car. I enjoyed delicious food and shopping, and also enjoyed the nature of Hawaii that I could not experience in Honolulu, so I sincerely recommend it.

The weather was great, and the sunrise at Diamond Head was incredibly beautiful. We cracked and ate macadamia nuts, and at Kualoa Regional Park, unbelievably, a honu (sea turtle) appeared on the beach, so we were able to fully enjoy nature. Plus, I never thought I'd get to eat Leonard's malasadas...it was the best! Our guide, Jonah, was approachable and gave us very thorough guidance throughout, it was truly a wonderful tour.

This was my 6th time to Hawaii, but this time I participated with my first baby, and I was very satisfied! The tour proceeded with the guide telling interesting and fun stories, and we stopped at parks and observatories with beautiful scenery, as well as a macadamia nut shop, before heading to Haleiwa. On the way back, I was also told about recommended supermarkets near the hotel, and I went there many times during my stay.

Highly recommend! I had a great time visiting with my family. It can be tough with the sun being so strong, but the scenery is amazing, you can see dolphins, and there are many activities to enjoy together, so it's really great!

Picked up from the hotel and hiked Diamond Head. Sneakers are best as the terrain is uneven in some places. Managed to get the Diamond Head version of the Hello Kitty sunscreen, which was sold out at the ABC Store. Luckily, we came down early as they quickly sold out. After that, we started a sightseeing tour going east – our guide this time was excellent. Everywhere we went, they pointed out the nicest restrooms and even drove us around to all the food trucks for lunch, giving us recommendations. They also willingly took photos for us. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time in our tour and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave a warm “Ohana” to everyone. Cheryl gave us lei, mints, chocolate covered macadamia and cold water throughout the tour.

What to know about Halona Blowhole Lookout

Halona Blowhole Lookout is a must-see natural wonder on Oahu’s southeastern coast, formed thousands of years ago by volcanic eruptions. When strong ocean waves caused by northeastern trade winds hit the shore, they push water into an underwater lava tube. This makes the water shoot up into the air, creating the famous Hālona blowhole. From the lookout point, you’ll get breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, the rugged rock formations, and Halona Beach Cove, also called Eternity Beach, made famous by scenes from From Here to Eternity and 50 First Dates. You can also spot humpback whales, sea turtles, or brave locals at Sandy Beach Park, known for its high surf and body surfing. While you’re here, you’ll see why it’s one of Oahu’s top natural wonders; just keep a safe distance, as dangerous currents and sudden waves show the ocean’s power up close.

Things to Do in Halona Blowhole Lookout

Watch the Water Shoot from the Blowhole

At Halona Blowhole Lookout, one of the coolest things to see is the water shooting up to 30 feet in the air from the natural lava tube. This happens when ocean waves rush into the underwater tunnel, and it's especially amazing during high tide or rough surf. Make sure to keep a safe distance and follow all warning signs.

Spot Whales and Sea Turtles

If you visit Halona Blowhole Lookout during the winter months, you might see humpback whales swimming in the distance. On calmer days, you could also spot sea turtles near the shore or in the clear ocean water below the lookout point. Bring binoculars for a better view!

Visit Halona Beach Cove (Eternity Beach)

Right below the Halona Blowhole Lookout is Halona Beach Cove, also known as Eternity Beach. You can reach it by taking a steep, rocky path down, but be careful and wear sturdy shoes. This small beach cove is famous for its role in the movie From Here to Eternity and is a great place to relax and take photos; just avoid swimming, as the ocean currents can be dangerous.

Take Photos of the Stunning Coastline

Halona Blowhole Lookout gives you one of the best views of Oahu's southeastern coast. You'll see the deep blue Pacific Ocean, rugged cliffs, and even nearby spots like Sandy Beach Park and Koko Head Crater. It's a perfect place to take photos, especially in the early morning or just before sunset.

Top Tips for Visiting Halona Blowhole Lookout

  1. Visit early or late in the day to avoid crowds and get better parking

  2. Stay behind safety barriers and keep a safe distance, as the area can be slippery and the blowhole is dangerous

  3. Never swim in the nearby waters since strong currents and sudden waves make it very unsafe

  4. Watch your step and supervise children to keep everyone safe near the cliffs and rocks
