Visit
the Active Volcano on the Big Island |
|
Everybody
wants to see red hot lava! There isn't any right now on Maui ... our
last eruption here was a little over 200 years ago. But the Big
Island of Hawaii offers the safest volcano viewing in the world. Kilauea
has been oozing lava non-stop for the last 25 years ... it typically
flows downhill from the active vent toward the ocean through a
series of tubes and surface flows. |

Here is a link to a webpage that highlights
the current eruptive activity, with photos of lava and maps showing
the lava flows. This page is updated almost daily. Take a look at
this site and then come back here and book your volcano adventure!

Reserve these packages well in advance of your arrival in Hawaii. These packages are not available as the interisland flights begin to fill up and the lesser expensive seats are sold out. From December 15 to January 4 these packages are not available due to the surge in local interisland travel over the holidays.
