"Amazing"
Isn't it great how mother nature forms such wonderful things!
The sign says the early Hawaiians called this spot puhi or blowhole. It is a part of Koloa Heritage Trail. Easy to get to. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy the amazing water display and sounds as the ocean waves come up through the holes in the lava. Chickens love it here too. Hawaiian chickens are so colorful compared to mainland USA. Spent about 45 min. there as we ate. Recommend it!

"Beautiful Spout!"
The Spouting Horn is definitely something fun to see in Kauai, especially if you've never seen water rushing through a lava tube before! Although we thoroughly enjoyed it, don't plan on spending a lot of time there. For us, it was a stop along our journey for the afternoon which worked out really well. They do have restrooms and vendors selling stuff there, as well as some picnic areas, so I would definitely recommend packing a lunch and watching the spout! :)

"Kids love the water shooting up in the air"
The kids loved the spouting horn. There's not much of a beach, in fact, I don't think there's a beach at all. But the water shooting up through the lava tube will entertain your children while the wife goes shopping at the local craft fair nearby.
So you might think this activity is free, but trust me, it will cost you!

"view or the spouting horn and chickens"
visited here in Oct '08. Our toddler was into feeding the chickens on the grass. We enjoyed the view of the ocean and the spouting horn and it was very close to our hotel. They also had vendors selling a variety of items...jewelry, picture frames, carved wood and instruments. Once our 2 yr. old saw the instruments, that was a good 1/2 hour of entertainment for her.

"Geysers"
This a very picturesque spot. When the waves come in and the water shoots up all the holes in the rock formations make sure you have your camera ready. Great place to relax and watch nature take it's course. We definitely took some time to watch all the water displays all around us.

"Fun with the Family"
It’s almost impossible to miss the site of Spouting Horn. As with the Halona Blowhole on eastern Oahu, water spurts up from an open-ended lava tube that extends into the ocean. Depending on surf conditions, the currents can send fountains of water quite high.

"Better at high tide or with rougher water"
We drove down from Kapaa to see the blowhole and to check out the south side of the island. The blowhole itself is situated right off the highway and was easy to find. There are a bunch of little stands selling all sorts of souvenires and knicknacks. We were there as the tide was fairly low and the surf was not as rough (we noticed the tide was coming in though and was things were getting a little better the longer we stood there). The legend says there is a creature that is trapped in the rocks and makes a noise just before the water spouts out (there is a whole story around it), so you know when to get your camera ready. It is a very eerie sound...almost like a stomach rumbling and a big whine. It was just a disappointing time of day for us to be there. I can imagine it gets exciting when the conditions are right!

"Entertaining for everyone"
I wouldn't go way out of the way for this, but fortunately it's situated not far off the highway to Hanapepe and Waimea Canyon, and close all the hotels at Poipu. The "horn" makes a noisy and fairly high spout, much more impressive (when we were there) than the Halona blowhole on Oahu.
