    One of the Beautiful spot in Honolulu, HI. Parking: Roadside parking, you can park anywhere in the street unless it is no parking spot. In Hawaii, you can park anywhere unless it is specifically mentioned as no parking. Entrance: you can't find trail easily after you arrived this location. Please check carefully for the board "119A" between 2 houses and other board with set of rules to follow at this place. Payment: Not required, free entry to beaches in Hawaii. Diving: No jump is recommended at this place, unless you are a professional swimmer and watch carefully for rocks under water. Precautions: Hiking Shoes or lifestyle shoes with good grip, no sports/no formal and no golf shoes. Trail is steep and slippery and paths have dips n ditches please walk carefully. Ladder is available to get down at other end of the cave. Please careful at this place.

    Well. First of, don't go over there if you have small kids or old people with you. Don't go over there if it is wet or dark outside since the narrow path between the houses might be dangerous and people can get hurt. Sometimes you can meet quite crazy young people who dive from the top of the rock into the ocean. It is very dangerous. It is possible to see floating sea turtles over there. The place is windy. The rocks have quite interesting shapes.

    Beautiful place. Great for a sunset. The trail to get down is labeled by a sign that says 119a. The trail is quite steep and very slippery, so be careful. Spitting cave is called such because it blows out a load of mist when a wave hits the cave the right way.

    Google maps will take you to the correct spot, however, the entrance is in a residential area and you will need to walk in. The trail to it can be slippery, watch your step! Beautiful view. All in all worth the visit!

    Located in a neighborhood. Park on the street and look for a little alley with a danger/ warning sign. You may see tour vans pull in; follow them. Wear good shoes and be careful, watch your step. Definitely worth a stop and detour. Absolutely beautiful and free. Saw some seals and turtles.

    Gorgeous place. A little Rocky and slippery to get down. Absolute great view. Took my wife for a picnic here for Valentines day and it was a great place to see the sun set.

    Cool place to stop and check out. Beautiful views! There's a ladder on one side you can go down and a rope on the other side but you can also walk around on top. It's in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Look for the yellow sign in between houses. Steep trail going down but manageable for just about anyone.

    Beautiful spot with rugged coastline views, it's a must see if you're in the area, sunset is especially beautiful. I suggest wearing sneakers, the steep walk down can be challenging for the average physically capable person but it's a short walk.

    It's a little sketchy going down and up, especially when it gets wet, use the fence and chain, or bring hiking sticks. The views are outstanding, leave the cliff diving to the locals. Fun to watch, but looks like death if you don't know what you're doing.

    A beautiful view can be seen through the narrow streets between the houses. The Pacific Ocean as far as the eye can see. Diamond Head to the right. It is a lovely view. Sunset in winter is also recommended.

    Beautiful place to stop at for 15-30 minutes. Enjoy the crashing waves and scramble around on the rocks. You can see Diamond Head in the distance. Be careful climbing down and up the unpaved path through the foliage. I don't recommend it in rainy weather.

    A very short hike down a small path to one of the most breathtaking spots in the area! Truly one of my favorite spots. It's a great place to take in the views of the waves below - bring a blanket and lunch and have a picnic. I'd advise NOT to bring small children as it's a steep decline, it's rocky and can be slippery.

    It is good spot for sunset but I was little late. It is awesome view, little windy but not very cold. The parking is manageable on the street. Recommend to go with your beloved ones and check out the sunset there.

    Spitting Cave is a great place to go for scenic cliff views, and during rough days, a view of the famous spitting cave. This is also a famous spot for cliff jumping, I’ve heard that the jumping spot is like at least 60+ feet. Do not jump here if the waves are too rough. Checking the surf forecast of China Walls will give you a rough idea if the waves will be large at this location.

    Breath taking views and you can get a little adventurous with it. Experince the awesome power the pacific ocean has to offer with monstrous waves. Wouldn't bring any kids as you are standing on giant cliffs with no rails, entrance is slippery and if you go low enough those waves get huge. I Did see people in the water snorkeling* and jumping off the cliff near the cave but would only recommend being in the water unless you move like a fish (very good at swimming.)

    Beautiful, but unfortunately a bit spoiled by tourists climbing all over the rocks. They may want to know people have actually lost their lives here, so they may want to take care. Also, please be respectful of others trying to enjoy the area.

    Stunningly beautiful scenery. The waves crashing, cave spitting noises were so relaxing as the sun was setting. Just gorgeous!

  • 5/5 Gregory Y. 9 months ago on Google
    Another great photo app location to see the ocean and the island coming together. The walk down to the cave it is from a neighborhood street down a narrow steep alley. Absolutely worth the trip down for a magnificent view of the spitting cave.
