The track is open again, the path is easily walkable.

Tief und laut auch während des ruhigen Ozeans, gute Arbeit Hole! Und schöne Aussicht auch auf dem Spaziergang.

Der Spaziergang ist offen (Mai 2025)

Der Spaziergang ist derzeit geschlossen

Hina Hina bridge is closed atm, so to reach the blowhole, take a detour. Drive SOUTH side (purakaunui falls rd, a gravel road) along Catlins Lake, not north. See turnoff point at a bridge on west side of lake. Keep driving even when the sign says ‘road closed’. If you take the turn off in Owaka (pounawea rd) you’re doing it wrong.

I expected more from the blowhole - zero excitement!

Not really a blowhole, but it's interesting to see waves crash into the cliffs and each other. The viewing platform isn't optimal.

Not the usual blowhole but worth the walk. Nice good maintained track

Impressive! Fairly short walk but more than glad we stopped! Super deep blowhole where you can see and hear the water rushing and pounding the rocks. Good little viewing platform over the precipice. Worth it.

Track is in great condition despite the heavy rain for the last few days. Best time to go is near high tide
