The landmark has attracted people to the region for over 100 years and it was first sighted by George Bass in 1797 when he anchored his whale boat in the sheltered bay, now known as Kiama Harbour, however, he was not the first to discover this beauty, as local Aboriginals had for generations referred to it as the Khanterintee.

The Blowhole is a short distance from the town centre and train station. There are picnic areas as well as a rock pool nearby.
While the less famous Little Blowhole (referred to by locals) is much smaller than the famous Big Blowhole, due to its narrow shape, it is more reliable than the Big Blowhole and you are almost guaranteed to see the spray blow its mighty force in right sea conditions making it a very spectacular sight!
There are vigorous sprays of water bursting from the natural rocky cove, making it worth the visit, especially when the winds are coming in from a northerly direction.

The Little Blowhole is located within a few minutes' drive from the south of the main blowhole.
