Carnarvon, Western Australia

Ocean swell punches through rock tunnels, shooting water 20 m up.

Booking
No need to book

On a rolling swell day the blowholes are a loud, wet and genuinely dramatic show. Don't get close to the edge of the cliff. A short drive south is a calm snorkelling lagoon.

Good to know

  • Best on a big swell day
  • Stay well back from the edge
  • Gravel final stretch
Getting there
