Visit Hummanaya Blow Hole – Sri Lanka’s Unique Natural Wonder
Located just 8 km from Ocean Gateway Dickwella, the Hummanaya Blow Hole (also known as Hummanya) is one of Sri Lanka’s most extraordinary coastal attractions. It is the only natural blow hole in the country and is considered the second tallest in the world — making it a must-see destination in the southern province of Sri Lanka.
As you approach the site, you’ll hear the distinctive “ho-ho-hoo” sound of the ocean roaring through the rocks — a sound so powerful that it can be heard even from a distance. The seawater shoots dramatically through a natural rock fissure, sometimes reaching heights of up to 80 feet depending on the weather and wind conditions. The stronger the waves, the more impressive the spout!
Beyond the spectacle, the Kudawella Blow Hole area offers a charming local experience. You can enjoy fresh seafood dishes from nearby stalls and browse handmade crafts created by local artisans — perfect souvenirs to remember your visit.
For travelers exploring Matara, Tangalle, or Dickwella, the Hummanaya Blow Hole is a true natural wonder that blends scenic beauty, coastal adventure, and local culture into one unforgettable experience.
