Spouting Horn

Spouting Horn is a famous natural wonder located on the picturesque south shore of Kauai near Poipu. Every time ocean waves surge against the rocky basalt coast, water shoots through a natural blowhole up to 50 feet in the air, creating a roaring sound and mist. A secure lookout platform offers visitors a safe spot to enjoy the dramatic coastal views and watch for sea life.

Expert notes

• Arrive early in the day to avoid crowds.
• Check local tide charts to plan your visit during high tide.
• Stay a safe distance from the edge of the blowhole.
• Bring a camera to capture the stunning views.
• Wear comfortable shoes for walking around the area.
• Respect the natural habitat and wildlife around the site.
• Pack water and snacks, as there are limited facilities nearby.
• Keep an eye on children, as the cliffs can be dangerous.
• Consider visiting on a weekday for a quieter experience.
• Observe the ocean conditions before approaching the blowhole.
