Quobba Blowholes - WA

Awe-inspiring sight of the Blowholes is located just 75 kilometres north of Carnarvon on a bitumen road. Powerful ocean swells force water through sea caves and up out of narrow holes in the rocks, jets of water erupt into the air, sometimes up to a height of 20 metres, creating a spectacular sight.

Just one kilometre south of the Blowholes is a calm coral-filled lagoon known to the locals as the 'Aquarium', with fish and shells in abundance and a white sandy beach, making it a perfect hangout spot for the family or even a beach picnic. The lagoon is an ideal spot for snorkelling, especially for those least confident in the water.

It's important to plan your trip to the Blowholes, you want to get the most out of the experience. The Blowholes perform best during low tide, particularly when the tide is surging in. High tide isn't the best time as the water covers the platform from which the jets of water erupt.
