Hālona Blowhole is a rock formation and a blowhole on the island of Oahu, Hawaii off of Hanauma Bay at Hālona Point overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The Hālona Blowhole was formed thousands of years ago during the period of volcanic activity in Oahu, with Koko Crater's lava flowing into the ocean. The lava tubes extend into the ocean which are narrow at the top. There is also a narrow rift along the base of the cliff which was formed by a large section of rock that broke away from the land.
