We were staying in Poipu and decided to stop at Spouting Horn one evening after dinner. It was definitely cool - especially since the surf was strong - but we literally stayed about five minutes. You don't need much more time than that. There's a lookout over the Spouting Horn that has a great view, but it's just a little... More

Not a bad deal for free. They have shops lined up before u reach the main attraction. Bring cash. ESP if u like pearls (although most are fresh water). The water spout is neat. But fences make it less magical. Good whale watching spot as well during season in winter. Roosters are annoying. Island is over run with them. All... More

Spouting Horn is definitely an overrated attraction. The water was spouting the day that we visited but no one in our party thought this was anything special. We probably only stayed 5 mins at the most before getting bored. If you're into shopping there are some little souvenir shops in a covered area. More

It's a water spout sure enough. Depends on the tide if it's kicking up much. You can't get close to it. It's all fenced off from relatively far away. There are a bunch of little shops right there waiting to torture any man while the ladies look at the trinkets. I didn't see anything there worth having. There are chickens... More

We had shopped for items to bring home to the grandkids prior to going to see Spouting Horn. Wish we had known that there were several vendor booths at Sprouting Horn as they had many of the same items in the pricer stores at half the price. The vendors were friendly but not pushy in the least. Sprouting Horn put... More

This was a wonderful little adventure very close to the Grand Hyatt. Cute little shops and a fun short adventure on both small and large surf days. More

Pick a wave rolling in and wait for it to burst up thru the lava tube. And the jewelry market alongside is lovely too! More

This trip won't take long, but it's worth going to see. Go when the waves are strong for a better show. More
