Arahoho Blowhole

Cool thing to see! Doesn’t take a ton of time. Limited parking available but the entrance to the three waterfalls is across the street so you can see both attractions.

WE stopped here as we drove around the island of Tahiti. It is a nice spot to stop and rest. Shady, with nice restrooms. You are not able to see the blowhole they have it fenced off. You are able to watch the ocean or visit the gift shops there.

Beautiful location Looks like you need to come at high tide to get that blow hole to really pop so you can see the high powered mist. There is nice park and walk after the blowhole. The parking 🅿️ is tight. The black beach ⛱️ is truly amazing to look at. It makes the water black too. It's free parking no need to pay for anything

You may think it’s just a hole in the ground and you may even be tempted to skip Arahoho Blowhole on your trip around Tahiti, but TRUST ME when I say this: this is one of the coolest things you will see on your entire trip!! This is equal to any of the waterfalls, beaches, and other places on the islands of French Polynesia! I have never seen anything like it - waves slam into the rocks down at sea level, and this narrow hole channels the pressure all the way up to where you are standing! It’s like a tube that blasts air out and it is POWERFUL! It shoots wind close to hurricane force, and if you got too close, you would definitely blow over from the force! It is loud too, so be prepared!!! I 100% recommend stopping here along your drive - it is free and entirely worth a few minutes of your time. There is almost no walking required, and there is also a nice park attached to the Blowhole area where you can have a nice view of the ocean as well as the sea creatures on the rocks below! One unique phenomenon that you might spot when you visit is these little fish things that hop all across the rocks near the bottom entrance of the blowhole. It is weird, and I have never seen anything like it before. Maybe you know why they are? 🤔

One of the best natural phenomenon I have ever seen. The smoke comes out of an actual lava duct jutting out from the ocean into these rocks! Just absolutely stunning!

Arahoho Blowhole is located along the rocky coast of Tahiti and a scenic black sand beach. It is one of the island's most visited natural wonders.

Along NE coast on drive around island. Very small parking lot with maybe 5 spots. There is a little park that wraps around both sides of the tunnel the road passes through. Pretty park and beautiful views along the coast and black sand beach. Waterfalls are just across and down the street.

Okay, I'm going to be honest this place is a little overrated. It's cool to see once, but it's a tourist trap. I don't imagine any locals coming here. Of all the spots to see on the north side of the island, this is the least exciting. Parking is atrocious. You'll spend maybe 15 minutes here. Good luck.
