This point of interest can be a favorite spot for those looking for adventure. It's safe but a moderate hike down to the blow hole. Don't get within 5 feet of the "hole" as tourists have fallen in and never found. Don't risk it. It's a 40 min drive from Ka'anapali and about an hour from Olivine Pools. Adventure seekers only.
