Was cloudy the day I went but still worth it. Saw multiple sea turtles. Highly recommend going a few different days as tides are different and Spouting Horn looks different as the tides change.

Just watching the waves spout up this naturally made hole in the cliffs was amazing! We were able to see sea turtles and admire the blue green ocean as a crashed on the cliffs. There’s a small picnic area nearby. Across the street is the Allergan Gardens. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Breathtaking! A sight not to miss! This natural wonder is a sight to behold! The power and magnificence of the ocean is on full display. There is easy and Ample parking too. There are abundant chickens and roosters to make it a delightful stop!

Nice view from the lookout above. It is located close to the botanical garden and has its own parking lot.
It was cool to watch the water level sink and then the water blow up through the hole.
You don’t need a lot of time here.

We have stayed in Poipu twice in recent years and are able to walk to the Spouting Horn. Best to visit during hight tide for the best effect with the wave action pushing the water up though the spouting horn. Also fund to visit with the artisans who are in the parking area with permanent outdoor sales areas. You might find a good moment here. do not go out near the Spouting Horn to take photos...keep a safe distance. there have been several serious accidents here by those who venture too close.

We went twice to spouting horn because our rental was nearby and was walkable.
It is worth the trip to see this - visitors love blowholes on the ocean. We saw NO VENDORS on either visit.
There are nice bathrooms.

Spouting Horn is worth a quick visit, but come during an incoming high tide to see the highest spouts. The parking lot and restrooms are run down. It's obvious the State of Hawaii isn't spending much to maintain this park. There are a few run down picnic tables. Filthy would best describe the restrooms. You can only walk to an overlook that looks down from the bluff. It's fenced but run around the overlook its run down with trash.

We could spend hours here.. it’s truly magical watching the waves come in, the spouting horn putting on a great show.. the vibrant colors of the water and surroundings are so perfect. Only critique would be that the grounds in the park and bathroom are not well-kept, dirty.

What happened to all the great vendors? Of course the blow hole is still there and it’s terrific but after about 5 minutes, you’ve seen it all. The vendors were so much fun, friendly to visitors and had good prices on everything from a surfboard key chain to a Niihau lei. Sad to see they are gone, and wonder where they went and Why.

It does not take long to view Spouting Horn....unless you want it to. We stopped here for a second time and I confess that I am mesmerized by the scene. Its like a mini Old Faithful geyser that happens every few seconds. It is gorgeous and addicting. I love it!

Saw a toy that looked hand made at one of the local venders at spouting horn that I wanted for my grandson. I was on a guided tour so I was rushed out by our tour guide and not able to purchase the item and was very upset set. I was on a cruise ship vacation so I wasn’t able to go back to get it. I doubt I’ll get a chance to go back and visit again on vacation but if I do I will for sure and make sure I get that toy! I looked all over on the different islands our ship stopped and visited but did not see another toy like that at all! I wanted something different like that to bring home for my only grandson. Sure wish I could contact the vendors to find it and still purchase and have shipped to my home. Would anyone know how I could contact the place to speak with someone I’m hopes of purchasing this toy?

Must have a vendor’s license. I think the whole island is called Kaua’i county or whatever town the Spouting Horn is in must have some records one can check or call. Good luck

Each of the stalls/booths are individually owned. There are no names posted/visible.
