You need to go at high tide if you really want to see some action! More

Worthwhile visiting. Going towards sunset was beautiful. Not much to do there but look at the blowholes so no need to allocate more than 30mins for the visit. Best to go at high tide to see its full effect. More

We really enjoyed the blowholes and spend ages watching and photographing them. The sound is amazing as the force of the water surges up through the holes. We declined the offer of the coconut man and he respectfully left us alone. The blowholes are best viewed at high tide, however, if this doesn't fit into your plans they are still... More

We loved the blowholes and spent time getting wet and throwing coconuts in the blowholes which launched twenty metres into the air. Yes the coconut man came over and tried to charge us again after we had paid at the gate. I gave him 10 tala for our group of four as he was part of the attraction - a... More

Awesome to see and experience, however be warned about the little old man that tries to rip you off $50 australian dollars to watch him launch a coconut over the hole so you can see it shoot up towards the sky. More

Great blowholes. Cost approx 5tala to get in. Watch out for the old man at the end of the track. He (or an old woman) will try and double charge you again for parking once you have already paid and he will also try and get you to pay him to chuck a coconut in the blowhole and watch it... More

On a recent trip to the blowholes we didn't have the best experience, yes they were amazing but the WST 5 entry fee per person was not and then to get to the end of the road and be asked if we would like to see the coconut show (there were no signs anywhere to say we would be charged)... More

This attraction certainly lived up to its name. Cost $10-$15WST. There is also a "coconut show" once you drive/walk down towards the blowholes, where an elder will take some coconuts and throw them into the blowholes and you can watch them get thrown back out by the water - beware there is a charge for this of $20WST so if...
