Kauai's South Shore
 On your way to Kiahuna Plantation Resort, as you drive from Lihue to Poipu, you will pass through the Tree Tunnel. There are several accounts written about who planted the Eucalyptus trees. No one can even agree why they were originally planted on Kauai's Maluhia Rd. south of highway 50.
Spouting Horn, named for the sound it makes when the water rushes up the lava tubes, is a natural phenomena just a five-minute drive from Kiahuna Plantation. The sound is created when incoming waves crash against the shore and water is forced up through old lava tunnels to the surface of the rock outcropping below the lookout.
At Spouting Horn, on the lawn near the parking lot, you will also find many vendors selling local arts as crafts. Directly across the street is the Allerton Botanical Garden. The garden was designed by Robert and John Allerton. There is a nominal entrance fee which helps pay for upkeep of the landscaped grounds by the National Tropical Botanical Garden.
