Hawaii Kai was next and it is an area that has beautiful malls and multi million dollar homes. Henry Kaiser was the first to develop this area back in the early 60's and it has continued growing to this day. On the right side of the road after passing Hanauma bay I stopped at the first scenic turnout, where there is a wonderful view of the ocean and on a clear day you can see the islands of Molokai and Maui and sometimes the island of Lanai. Continuing up the road about three quarters of a mile, there is a spot called Bamboo Ridge, a favorite fishing spot for fishermen. Right around the bend, after Bamboo Ridge, you will see the famous Halona Blowhole.
Blowhole is a lava tube which was formed beneath the ocean millions of years ago.
When it is high tide and the water is rough, the water pushes up from beneath the entrance of the lava tube and enters the tube, then you can see a spectacular water spray that can go as high as 20 to 30 feet into the air. As I look to the left at the Blow Hole I see Sandy Beach. I jump back on my moped and head for the beach. I was getting pretty anxious to hit the water as it was a warm day. But as I looked at my watch it had only been a little over a half an hour since I left Waikiki.
