About

Hōlei Sea Arch is known for its natural lava-rock arch extending over the ocean, a striking formation on the island's rugged southern coastline.

Hawaii's tropical climate means the leeward coasts stay drier and sunnier through the year, while the wetter season generally runs November to March. Hawaiian food blends fresh seafood, poke, plate lunches and tropical fruit, available in nearby towns. Direct flights from the US mainland serve the island, with inter-island flights and ferries linking the main islands. English and Hawaiian are the main languages. The viewpoint suits solo visitors, couples and families alike, though the coastal drive requires a vehicle.
