Description
Made by an ancient lava tube, every wave brings a varied amount of sprays. Some are small and some are towering. It's such a beautiful natural geyser and when it erupts, it makes the natural sigh of the waves crashing inside.Related content

ikr!! did you ever hear the myth about why its called spouting horn? apparently in hawaiian folklore there was a giant sea lizard that protected that area and was kind of territorial over it, and one day some daredevil kid wanted to outwit the lizard and dove in, but escaped through that hole in the ground where now the water spouts out. since its too small for the lizard to escape through, the lizard was trapped and now is trapped there in frustration and anguish at the boy and you can still hear him breathing and thrashing around to this day (the deep snorting/breathing/blowing sound and the spitting water up in the air)

It really is. I could sit there all day watching it spray. Cool part is that it doesn't require a waiting time like Old Faithful does.

Quite a natural wonder.
But in terms of geysers, nothing compares to Ye Old Faithful...

That's right, though the wait time is ridiculous. Even so, both are glorious and wait or no wait, it's all worth it.

Yeah, there's always a line.
But thankfully it is worth the wait.
