Maui, first part of Day 3 (December 28, 2025)

The Nakalele Blowhole, as described in the Maui Revealed guidebook, is like "a jet engine roaring into the sky." The man-sized hole is in a lava shelf undercut by incoming surf that blasts through the hole. Don't lean over it! Someone was sucked through it and swept out to sea in 2011!

Mya, Brandy, Ryder, and River wait for the next 100-foot explosion. We had to scramble down about a 200-foot trail from the road above, over a lot of rock, to reach the blowhole.

Mya and Piper stood close enough to be covered in spray.
