The Legend of the Blowhole

At Araapupu Point, nature puts on a spectacular show. This famous blowhole is a natural geological formation where the force of the incoming tide compresses air and water through volcanic rock tubes, creating a powerful spray that can shoot several meters into the air.

Local legends say this is the breath of the island's spirits. Our guides will explain the science behind this phenomenon while sharing the myths of the guardians of the coast. It's a raw, powerful display of Bora Bora's volcanic origins.
