Thanks for the correction. My Bad. (gave me a good reason to go back...not that you really need it with Kauai.)
Again, if anyone's looking for great footage of Hawaii, don't look for it here. DVD's only good use appears to be as a coaster. (And it fails there too due to the hole in the middle.)
Haven't watched this but for those who are considering it..

...Kauai is our second home. It is indeed SPOUTING Horn. (Since the water spouts out of the lava tube to the surface)
Just wanted to clarify for others who are coming to the islands.
What a Waste

I purchased this DVD in a frantic search for high-quality footage of Kauai, and to say I was dissapointed would be an understatement. Actual island tours/footage is only a few minutes for each island, with the bulk of the time spent on extras. The quality was not good, with a level of distortion indicating that much of the footage was shot with a simple camcorder.
Dissapointing, short, not informative, low quality, and what info is there is inaccurate. (At one point, one of Kauai's biggest attractions is mispronounced.....SPOUTING HORN? It's SPROUTING Horn)
Don't bother with this one. Waste of time and money...and not done by experts.
