Mapu ʻa Vaea Blowholes
Mapu ʻa Vaea
meaning Chief Whistles is on the south-western side of the island and a must visit on
our list. The books say that on a windy day with a big swell, the blowholes can
spurt water over fifty feet in the air. There are hundreds of holes in the
coral, stretching more than three miles along the coast, near the village of
Houma. Today, not much wind and a fairly flat sea - our expectations today were
realistic. The blowholes did make the necessary whistling sounds and we enjoyed
standing and watching the show.
ALL IN ALL GREAT TO
WATCH
VERY
SPECTACULAR |
