Although the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii Island has been active for many years, it is only recently that she has put on quite a show with lava flowing on the surface of the ground. With safety concerns in mind, this is an excellent opportunity to witness the power of Mother Nature.
The easiest way to see the best show is to take a helicopter tour and fly above the lava activity. There are many helicopter tour providers available, such as Paradise Helicopters and Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. Kona and Hilo departures are available. For those staying on other Hawaiian islands, a quick inter-island flight to Kona will allow you the opportunity experience what may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
