While on the big Island, we went past a volcanic vent where a couple went for a midnight “steam” and ended up par boiled.....

Nakalele Point blowhole at google.com and then call out just the videos and you will find hundreds of home movies taken of this item.

There are people jumping and frolicking all the time.

what’s a blow hole

Subterranean lava tube with a vent topside. Waves roll up the tube, hit the back wall and shoot up through the vent. Geyser-like effect.

My guess is we have one less Californicus Treehuggerii to frolic in the sylvan glens.

I’m shocked to see no mention of the Darwin Award.

There is a blow hole in Oahu that you can jump in.

I did it.
It only blows you like 12 feet up

Blowhole is the name of a chick rock group that I manage!

Curiously, "Chick Rock Group That I Manage" is the name of my blowhole.

Best laugh of the day right there...

La Bufadora is a powerful blowhole.

The Toilet bowl is pretty tame. It never fully empties.
The trick is getting out.

Still. Pretty stupid. LoL

As you can see, there is a big difference with tides and waves on the action of the bowl.

that the tourist was dancing around and frolicking in the sprays of water moments before a wave knocked him down.

Apparently, Poseidon frowns on such ass-grabbery.
