Nakalele Blowhole is a natural wonder located near the northernmost tip of Maui, Hawaii. Formed by ancient lava flows, this blowhole shoots water into the air with each wave, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. While it can be seen from the road or trailhead, caution is advised as getting too close to the blowhole can be extremely dangerous, with the potential for serious injury or even death.

Visitors are urged to exercise caution and stay away from the blowhole area, as sudden large waves can knock them down and potentially suck them into the blowhole. Despite its beauty, Nakalele Blowhole is a reminder that nature should be admired from a safe distance.
