A Thrilling Display of Ocean Power
Located in the coastal fishing village of Kudawella near Tangalle, Hummanaya Blow Hole is a rare marine geological spectacle. Water pressure builds inside a deep submerged rock fissure between two giant granite cliffs, erupting into a roaring jet of ocean spray reaching height between 25 to 30 meters (80 - 100 feet).
The name "Hummanaya" derives from the deep "hoo" sound reverberating through the surrounding rocks prior to each spectacular explosion.
Visiting Experience & Viewpoint
A modern paved walking track and observation deck provide safe, elevated views over the dramatic rock gorge and sea cliffs.
A small coastal marine museum near the ticket gate displays whale skeletons, coral fossils, and marine life specimens.
