Kaua'i, Hawaii (Oct 8 and 9)



Spouting Horn

Here's a description of this I found: This natural wonder occurs when water rushes under a lava shelf and bursts through a small opening at the surface. Every wave produces another spray. Spouting Horn frequently spurts salt water 50 feet into the air. The phenomena is especially exciting at sunset when the spray becomes incandescent with the colors of the rainbow. This particular blowhole is different from others found throughout the state as another hole nearby only blows air, making a loud groaning sound.

The surf wasn't that high when we visited but it was still fun to see and hear!




Tulip slept through this one!

Back at Poipu
This quickly became our favorite beach for Tulip
