Spring, Geyser sights in Tonga

1. Mapu'a 'a Vaca Blowholes

   • Tonga
   • Sights › Spring, geyser

   These blowholes ('Mapu'a 'a Vaca' means 'Chief's Whistles') stretch for 5km (3mi) along the south shore of Tongatapu. They are best viewed on a windy day at high (but not too high) tide, when the maximum amount of water is forced up through natural vents in the coral limestone, forming geyser-like fountains of seawater up to 30m (98ft) high.
