Long walk down I would suggest you ask someone coming up if the blow holes are working before you walk all the way down. More

Not the most amazing thing I've ever seen but worth the walk (about 800m - it's a footpath and not particularly taxing) The weather was pretty wild but that added to the experience with the sea showing off its power. More

Nice coastline all along the south of WA. Infortunately the blow holes weren't blowing the day we were there, but we met someone else leaving who told this to us. At least we didn't have to walk all the way down the hill to find it out. It is a considerable downhill walk ( UPHILL out) so best to check... More

I think most people expect water sprouting out from a blow hole. I'm not sure if this one ever does, it is so high up from the water, but the force of air blowing out was truly amazing. We could hear the blowing sound from nearby and when we got down to the actual "hole" air shot out it startled... More

We heard the blow holes but only saw a bit of spray. That didn't matter as the views along the way were amazing. More

Disliked the fact it was so steep and far for "Oldies" to negotiate. Unfortunate it was not "blowing" which did not help make the journey worthwhile. More

I thought the best thing was not the blowholes, but the views along the coastline. It's a really nice walk. The only bad thing is that when you come down to the blow holes, the signing of the path is suddenly very unclear, you don't know if your supposed to go down to the blowholes or not, and it's not...
