Tongatapu Blowholes 2001
 
Along the southern coastline of Tongatapu are the blowholes.  The best view is from the village of Houma.  As the southerly winds blow into Tongatapu the sea is driven into the southern coastline and sea spray erupts into the air.  ‘Vaea’s whistle’ or Mapu a Vaea are the most famous blowholes along the coastline.
