Tip 90: Experience the Force of Mother Nature

Theme Night Director

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.

Tip 89: Don’t fear volcanos

Theme Night Director

Many have heard the frightening media reports of the active volcano, Kilauea, in Hawaii. Although Mother Nature is wreaking havoc in an isolated area of the Big Island (called Hawaii), most of the island chain is experiencing no effects of this continuing lava activity. Don’t be concerned about an upcoming trip to the Hawaiian Island chain. If you’re staying near the volcano (in the Hilo area), call ahead to ask about the impact of vog (volcanic haze). Otherwise, relax, enjoy a Mai Tai and get excited about your Hawaiian vacation!

Headed to Disney World during the summer? Be ready for the daily afternoon rain showers. It happens- almost every day. Don’t let it ruin your vacation! Consider packing rain ponchos and umbrellas. With proper shoes, you can continue the fun in the rain. Before the downpour, you’ll notice the rain clouds. Plan ahead for indoor activities such as catching a show in a theater or a mid-afternoon snack in a restaurant.
